"Kissed by a Rose on a Grave" Coffin Box

and

"Day of the Dead" Tree Angel 

by LCDesigner Leigh

  I'm back today to share 2 projects so sit for a spell and enjoy the show ;0)

"Kissed by a Rose on a Grave" Coffin Box

The song "Kiss from a Rose" by Seal is one of my all time faves and inspired this piece which features the following stamps:
Lost Coast Designs:  Articulated Skeleton, Rose Bud and large Spiderwebs background
Carmen's Veranda: large Heads and Roses background stamp

 A closer look at all the details

 and now for my "3D DOTD Tree Angel" featuring Lost Coast Designs new release, the 5 inch Day of the Dead Angel!

3D Angel with fussy cut layering

 Here she is on top of my black Halloween tree.
I had a devil of a time trying to capture the glow of the tree lights through her so you'll just have to believe me when I say she glows prettily in the dark! 

 That's it from me today!  Have a SPOOKTACULAR HALLOWEEN and we'll see you back here tomorrow for Day 2 of our Day of the Dead Celebrations!  Join the fun and link up your DOTD projects in the linky below!
