Welcoming In November...Counterfeit Kit Challenge Reveal

Good morning! Today we are welcoming in the month of November, and my favorite way to welcome in a new month is with a new kit of supplies to scrap with. The kit we are using for inspiration is this fantastic new collection from Pink Paislee, Cedar Lane:

A beautiful kit for fall was definitely in order for this month! My notes were to gather purples, teal greens, pinks, buttery yellows, and woodgrains. Up next,  I was just looking for patterns that reminded me of fall-acorns, leaves, and a few beautiful florals. I gathered plenty of embellishments for my kit this month; chipboard stickers, glittery newsprint Thickers, tiny word strips and stickers, tags,washi, wood veneer, die cuts, enamel Pop Drops, and a 6x6 paper pad. This is the kit of supplies that I was able to gather from my stash....and I could have made my kit much larger still, this kit is what was left after I eliminated about a third of the stash I had pulled for various reasons. Here is my kit:


And a look at the papers by themselves:

We were also tasked with the challenge of creating an add on kit, with each of the design team members adding an item on to the group. My choice was to make die cut watercolor leaves, inspired by this photo and blog post:

Here is a look at my leaves, that I die cut from watercolor paper:

I plan to show the completed leaves with the Forgeries on the Fourth, so be sure to come back and have a look to see how they turn out!

Now have a cup of coffee or tea and make your way around to the rest of the Master Forgers' kits, as they are sure to inspire!

  6. What a stunning kit Margie! I love the pretty pinks and oranges and that floral paper and chipboard are really eye-catching too. You've included some really fun embellishments too - I like the gold feathers and the clips and will definitely be back to see your tutorial on the leaves. (The blog looks great too!)

  10. There's a lot to love in this (large) kit! Looks like we all struggled to make it small this time around! I spy lots of leaves which are always a winner in my book and some wonderful colours and patterns. I think you summed up the colour and design of the inspiration kit really well. Lovely.
