Who wants to learn how to make these cute little guys??? Well you are in luck! Below is a tutorial that was recorded live on FB!  We are sure you are have many questions. And we have many answers! But first lets talk about how amazing these embossing powders are shall we?

First off we take our hats off to Emerald Creek for all of the amazing products that they have! You know us, we try many different products and only use what we love. And we LOVE Emerald Creek! They are hands down the best company out there. The color and texture is amazing. The ability to apply layer upon layer is fantastic, and the way that our projects turn out each and every time that we use them leaves us in awe... It really is the finishing touch to any and all projects! Now to add the Magical Mysteries Collection by Rita Barakat is just brilliant!

We loved each and every color that is in this collection! Of course we are just a little biased to the Fairy Wings Pink and the Fairy Wings Blue (LOL).  To make a Day of the Dead Planter here is a list of things that you will need.

* Terra Cotta Planter Pot (any size)
* DecoArt Snow White Acrylic Paint
*Foam Paint Brush
*The Magical Mysteries Embossing Powders
*The Magical Mysteries Fairy Wings Kit
