It's That Time Again!


It's July 6th, and that means it's time for the Master Forgers to share our versions of this month's Kit to Counterfeit!
Here is the Inspiration Kit  We Were Given to "Counterfeit", last July's Polka Dot Whimsy Kit, called "Cape Cod":



Here is my Main Kit:

In my kit this month, I tried to closely replicate the  pattern papers, using an assortment of Basic Grey Romani and Cupcake, American Crafts Heat Wave, a die cut shaped paper from Target's Dollar spot, cardstock, and GCD Studios Paris Nights ( I think that's the name of it) flocked black and cream striped paper, a couple of crochet doilies, polka dot crepe paper, buttons from Jenni Bowlin and Basic Grey, cream rose trim, ruffled white satin trim, light blue and yellow shabby seam binding, a couple of sets of Thickers, a set of stamps, a few vellum envelopes by Sticko, some Elle's Studio numbers,and an assortment of handmade and store bought flowers from my stash.

They also gave us a couple of Add-On Kits for Inspiration, and I chose to " Counterfeit" this one, called "Martha's Vineyard":




My kit, "Margie's Vineyard":

For this kit, I wasn't sure I was going to do an add on at first, because I didn't really like the colors together- but the more I looked at it, the more I liked it and wanted to try it. I just decided to soften the green and orange shades a bit.

  4. Two great kits! I really like the Margie's Vineyard Add - On. I NEVER use purples, so might try to counterfeit this one to inspire myself.
