Today I finished off my ATCs for the CBC swap. This months theme is ‘remember remember’. My first ATC is all about the Mexican day of the dead (El dia de los muertos) when people remember their family and friends who have died. They make little sugar skulls and decorate them to adorn alters at the beginning of November. I had a scrap of material left that had a similar pattern on so the skull embellishment on the front is cut out from the material and stuck onto an acetate overly. The background I made using these free brushes (thank you Mel) printed onto white card then coloured in using copic pens. The ‘remember‘ script I got from UK scrappers (thank you) which I also used in my second ATC .

El dia de los muertos

This one as you have guessed already depicts Guy Fawkes night with fireworks lighting up the sky.
