Hi guys! How are you? Today I would like to tell you about my new inspiration made especially with a winter collection from Studio Forty, "Frosty season": it is a Layout in the 30 x 30 cm format. For this Layout I chose a photo with a slightly larger format: 9.5 x 12 cm. The predominant colours are cold, in harmony with the shades of the photo and the season... winter.

I will explain the various steps for its realisation. I chose sheet n. 4 as the base and glued a plain white cardboard 28.5 x 28.5 cm on top. I made some frame seams and another circular one (this one served as a template for making the crown).

At this point I prepared the embellishments: I cut out various winter flowers and leaves from sheet n.1; with two simple 'pine needles' die-cuts I obtained other embellishments using white card and sheet n. 3; others using the hot embossing technique and the 'Holiday cheer' stamps. Finally, I made several stamps using the 'Holiday cheer' stamps on sheet n. 5 from the 'Nordica' collection and then cut them out. Before placing the embellishments I made some stamps ("Holiday cheer" and "Winter mood") using blue, light blue and light green.

At this point I arranged the various embellishments in a circle, also using double-sided adhesive tape to give a more three-dimensional effect. After also positioning and embellishing the photo, I cut out a few letters from sheet n. 3 of the "Nordica" Collection to form the word "Magic" and finally stamped additional words relevant to the atmosphere created ("Fun & cozy" and "Holiday cheer"). A transparent sticker ("Frosty season - transparent stickers") on the photo and some light with the Frosty season dots and the layout is ready.
