LCDesigner Leigh here with a Skull and Skellie altered project to kick off our event today!
I found this unfinished wooden container in the craft section at Target and just loved the triangular sides.  The skulls I recycled from a Halloween decoration and used as feet finished it off nicely don't you think.  I love how it turned out!

 I used Lost Coast Designs fabulous Skeleton and Roses and Skull Flourish stamps to alter this fun container but before stamping each panel with the skulls I first stamped our Long Swirl all over to add a subtle interest to the background as well as the open areas of the Skull Flourish.

We've got dozens of wicked cool skull and skeleton rubber stamps that you NEED in your collections..trust me, I'm a stamper ;0)  Click on the links and check them all out!
