This week on the  Monday Challenge, we are leaving the designer papers in the drawer and making our own backgrounds for our projects. There are so many different techniques that you can use, from stenciling, embossing, gelli-printing, stamping, and so many more. The Design Team has used several techniques and hopefully they will give you some ideas of what you can do too!

Once you have made your creation just go ahead and upload it into the linky on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge blog! We can’t wait to see what you make!

We are showcasing Darkroom Door Products this week, you don’t have to use them to join in, but if you have them we would love to see them used on your projects!

As always, we’re offering a chance to win a $50 Gift Voucher to Simon Says Stamp!  All YOU need to do is join in with the challenge!
