Ciao a tutti! Finito Ottobre e Halloween possiamo cominciare il conto alla rovescia per le festività natalizie! Oggi Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog vi propone una sfida molto stimolante: Make Your Own Background!

Cambio della guardia anche per la nostra Designer Spotlight: oggi arriva Jo aka Let’s Art Journal
, QUI il suo splendido blog!

Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge
Thank you for joining us for the Take Flight Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too.
This week we are challenging you to take out your inks, stencils, embossing folders etc and Make Your Own Background
There are so many fabulous techniques for making your own backgrounds! We can’t wait to see what you use!
As it is the first Monday of the month we are showcasing a particular company and this time we’re all using some fabulous prodcts from the Carabelle Studio! You don’t have to use them to join in, but if you happen to have some in your drawers then please take them out and give them an airing!
This week we are welcoming the lovely and super talented Jo aka Let’s Art Journal into the Designer Spotlight. If you haven’t visited Joanne’s fabulous blog before then you are in for a real treat! Please pop by and give her a warm welcome and leave her some nice comments ;-)


Credo che da adesso in avanti la maggior parte dei mie progetti sarà a tema Natale! Ho usato la fustella da embossing Grande Cercles di Carbelle Studio per creare un background lieve ma visibile per uno dei nuovi fiocchi di neve di Tim Holtz, confesso .... forse il mio preferito!
Ho utilizzato catoncino kraft e una volta passato attraverso la Big Shot ho evidenziato i pois con l'inchiostro bianco Yeti di Lawn fawn. So che nelle foto non si vede moltissimo ma dal vivo l'effetto è molto più evidente.

I think my projects from now on will be almost all about Christmas! I used Carabelle Studio's Grand Cercles Embossing folder to create a slight but visible background for one of new Tim Holtz's snowflakes, I confess... perhaps my favorite!
I used a kraft cardstock and once passed through the Big Shot I highlighted the polka dots with the white ink Yeti by Lawn Fawn. I know that in the photos the effect can not be appreciated well, but if you had the card in your hands ...






Come avete potuto vedere la card è molto semplice, il fiocco di neve insieme al background rendono molto bene l'atmosfera invernale e per dare un tocco festivo ho aggiunto un pochino d'oro con Vintage foil della Ranger.
A volte l'espressione "Less is more" può essere il giusto pensire.... ma solo a volte.... sapete che ame piace abbastanza riempire le mie creazioni!

As you could see the card is very simple, the snowflake along with the background make it very well the winter atmosphere and to give a festive touch I added a little bit of gold  with  Ranger Vintage foil.
Occasionally  the quote "less is more" may be the best thought .... but only occasionally .... you know that I like to fill  enough my creations!

Wow, what an amazing card! The Carabelle Studio embossing works perfectly with that beautiful TH snowflake and the colours you used are my favourite - perfect 😀. It's wonderful to be able to join you in the Designer Spotlight this month, thanks so much! J 😊 x

Wonderful make Barbara! Love the color combo, the slice of wood, the simplicity, and that wonderful blue snowflake against the dotted circular background! hugs, Maura

i absolutely love your background, Barbara. The round shape of circles with added texture is stunning, and your colors are amazing. This one belongs on the cover of CARDS magazine, girl! Love it. I'm recovering from shoulder surgery so i can't create anything (can't lift/use right arm for at least 6 weeks) but when i see something this amazing, it's exciting, and i want to try this when my poor little wing is healed and strong. Just can't say enough how much i love this one. Sorry i can't play along, but thanks for the FAB inspiration and super cool technique.
Blessings,
Karen Letchworth
