Forging Behind

Here it is - better late than never - July's Counterfeit Kit. Again I have used my own colours and adapted the travel theme to suit my stash/photos as I have found that works better for me when actually using the kits!

Ribbon-centric embellies this month

Polkadot Whimsy's Cape Cod Kit
July 2010

In any case, I had nothing that directly matched the kit-to-copy (the CKCB went back to Polkadot Whimsy's July 2010 kit for inspiration), so I started by looking through my papers for small geometric shapes - choosing the Paper Salon paper and matching alpha stickers.  I then stumbled across a part used prize kit containing a Daisy Bucket collection, blooms, and ribbon which toned in nicely.  As I have some photos in mind for this kit I chose was some bicycle paper from Basic Grey to replace the jet planes of the kit-to-copy.  Though not shown in this picture, there were loads of fun trims, so I, too, went a bit mad with them!

So there it is - not a counterfeit that would fool anyone, but hopefully a kit that I will use - starting tonight when my friends on UKS are hosting a little challenge evening to get us scrapping!
