"Forging" into June...

It' s time again!! Time to Counterfeit a current kit club, with supplies entirely from our own stash! The kit club that Meridy and Bethany (from the Counterfeit Kit Challenge Blog) chose for us to "counterfeit" this month is the June kit from Burlap and Buttercups:

The Burlaps and Buttercups kit:

My Counterfeit Kit:

 The Burlap and Buttercups kit mostly focused on Basic Grey's new line, Hello Luscious, which I love, but I don't have any of it yet, so I improvised, and still dug into a good bit of my Basic Grey stash. I also love those Jenni Bowlin Embellished vellum butterflies, and the Basic Grey Bloomers, and didn't have them, so I made my own of both. I cut the butterflies out by hand using a template *hint: watch the Counterfeit Kit Challenge Blog this month,we will be sharing the link for the butterfly template.


My Homemade "Embellished Butterflies":

I cut them out of random scraps of yellow vellum that I had, mostly from an ancient book of 8 1/2 x 11 Colored Vellum from Hot Off The Press, and added stick on pearls from the Paper Studio.

My Homemade "Bloomers":

I made these by layering felt and paper flowers from my stash, mainly from American Crafts and Making Memories, and sewing buttons in the centers, trying to keep similar colors as the ones in the kit.
