Hello, my lovely blog friends, welcome back for the new challenge! This week at
Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge we challenge you to "
Make Your Own Background". There are so many awesome techniques for making your own backgrounds! I am looking forward to seeing what you create! As it is the first Monday of the month we are showcasing a particular company, and this week, we’re all using some fabulous products from the Carabelle Studio! You don’t have to use them to join in, but if you use them in your project, we'd be very happy to see them shared!
The super talented Jo aka Let’s Art Journal joins us this month as our guest Designer this week. Please check her fantastic projects and leave her some comment love.
I was inspired to create a mixed media tag using
Carabelle Studio Papillons Embossing Folder for the background and
Prima Marketing Fall Pine Leaf Embellishments to decorate the tag. To start this project, I embossed this size 8 tag with Carabelle Studio embossing folder and Big Shot. The tag was colored and distressed using different shades of Distress Paints and created the weathered and distressed effect.
On a piece of white card stock, I embossed the same patterned with the same embossing folder, and distressed the pattern with Simon Says Stamp Dye Ink Pad and Tim Holtz Applicator Tool. I cut the embossed paper and pasted it on the left bottom corner of the tag. Some Prima Pine Leaves were added on the tag using foam dots.
Some photos, Bauble Charm embellishments were attached on the tag. I also added some sentiments to finish off this project.
I really enjoyed creating the background of this tag using Carabelle Studio Papillon Embossing Folder and hoped you got inspired to create with us this week. Happy crafting!
