Choice Counterfeiting

Are you counterfeiting?  I have been: over at the Counterfeit Kit Challenge Blog they've announced the latest kitS-to-copy from My Creative Scraproom (although it's not their latest [which is are lovely - check it them out here] - the CKCB went back to September 2010 for inspiration this month).

We were give the choice of four kits to counterfeit (a main one, two add-ons and a limited edition kit) - and while I was tempted to have a go at them all, the thought of my half-used July (and June) kits made me stop at just the one!

I chose the stunning Creative Add-on Kit as I love the bright colours and small patterns ... trouble was I had NO Echo Park papers at all.  So I looked through my stash to see whether I had some papers with:

• butterflies (sort of)
• trees (no chance)
• small colourful circles (plenty)
• narrow colourful stripes (plenty)
• small colourful flowers (surprisingly few)
• diagonal colourful checks (none)

 ... and came up with circles, stripes and matching alphas from Polar Bear Press and butterfly floral paper from Sei ...and these were the starting point for my kit:

You will note that they really aren't anything like the original, but this whole challenge is about using what you've already got so that's what I'm doing.  I then selected a few more papers, some butterfly stamps and a variety of embellishments (with buttons instead of flowers) to produce this kit for August:

I'm hoping the addition of teal alphas, ric-rac & buttons will help me ring the changes when it comes to using the kit, the full contents of which are listed below.
