The Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers Challenge #70 - D is for Day of the Dead.

Edna is looking a little pale, and yet, somehow, strangely glamorous with those gorgeous roses in her hair!

For Challenge #70 the Sistahs are celebrating D is for the Day of the Dead. 

I have to be honest and admit that although I'd heard of this festival, I knew little or nothing about it. After some quick Googling, I discovered that Dia de los Muertos is a holiday celebrated in Central and Southern Mexico on 1st and 2nd November. This festival coincided with the Catholic celebration of All Soul's and All Saint's Day and the indigenous people combined this with their own ancient beliefs of honouring their deceased family members. Mexicans believe that the gates of heaven are opened at midnight on October 31st, and that the spirits of all deceased children (angelitos) are allowed to reunite with their families for 24 hours. On November 2nd, the spirits of the adults come down to enjoy the festivities that are prepared for them.

This card was made as an anniversary card for my hubby. I adore Janet Klein's Vera Lane Studio images and would happily buy each and every one of them. I love these two little zombies who are all dressed-up and ready to party!

To see what the Sisterhood have created please head here and be warned, there's some seriously fabulous inspiration waiting for you with zombies and sugar skulls aplenty!
