I was very excited about this month's hop because as many of you already know, I love Halloween and Dia De Los Muertos projects.  So come on, you know I had to make a shrine!!  


I picked up this coffin on clearance last year and have been waiting to turn in into a shine.  I started by embossing the new Lace with Border stamp on white cardstock.  Then I cut it to fit, adhered and sprayed with Dylusions inks.


I stamped the Dia De Los Muertos Mujer on black cardstock and embossed in white.  I fussy cut her and added mini butterfly wings.


I used the shine border from the Dia De Los Muertos Mujer set but I cut it and placed one end on the top.  I used the other piece to frame my skeleton.  For the banner, I used the Papel Piqado stamps from the Dia De Los Muertos Hombre set and hung them with jute twine.  I flanked the shrine with the doves in the Milagros stamp set.


I embellished my shrine with paper and artificial flowers.  I also tucked in a heart from the Milagros stamp set.

So when I started working on this piece, I wasn't sure what I was going for but as I worked it hit me.  My inspiration came from one of my very favorite songs by Gloria Estefan.  It's called "No Llores" (Don't Cry), she has several versions of this song but the one I love features Pitbull.  My favorite part of the original song is:

El dia que yo me muera (The day I die)
No quiero que me manden flores (I don't want you to send me flowers)
Lo que me des, damelo en vida (What you give me, give me while I'm alive)
No habra razon pa' que me llores (Then there'll be no reason for you to cry for me)



Isn't that beautiful and I really love all of Pitbull's part too.  I love jamming to this, enjoy!!

 

Like Pitbull says, "I lived my life the way I wanted, just like you should live yours the way you want".


The other quote I wrote is:

Asi como tu eres, yo era (The way you are, I was)
Asi como yo so, tu seras (The way I am, you will be)

That's what I imagined she wanted to say :D  This shrine really inspired me so I'll be doing more in depth pieces using these sentiments in the near future.  Well I hope you've enjoyed my post, now it's time to head on over to Shay's Blog!!
