As a kid, we usually went to the market to get our sugar skulls with our name written on the forehead. They were meant to be part of the "Ofrenda" and we would eat them after november 2nd. This year I'm giving my friends a watercolor skull with their names :D You could do too! So lets get on it!

Instructions

  1. Small 115297 2f2016 10 30 194747 dsc 0337

    Draw your design on the foamy scrap and add features such as eyes, nose and mouth, then cut out those features. Glue it to a piece of wood, a bottle cap or anything that will help you with the placement of the stamp

  2. Small 115297 2f2016 10 30 195006 dsc 0333

    Paint the skull with watercolors, then stamp and finally enhance features with a paintbrush (i added shadow, eyes nose, and mouth to give it a little depth)

  3. Instead of a skull try with a pumpkin or bat! Happy Halloween!
