New Catrina Skeleton Shrine Kits + More‏

Happy weekend everyone! We have lots of great new goodies in the shop! More Tim Holtz Halloween, rubber stamps, and my favorite, the new Catrina Skeleton Shrine Kits! I LOVE the fact that you can leave the skeleton black and white, and perhaps add tons of color inside the shrine OR you can color her. I used a combination of Copic Markers and Sharpies. Colored pencils would work really well too! And you could definitely add some glitter, metal roses, and other embellishments. I can't wait to see those Catrinas you make!

You can check it out HERE.
