It's a new dawnIt's a new day
It's a new year
For me
And I'm forging kits
I'm forging kits
;-)
If you've joined me from Stephanie then you'll already know that the CKCB has chosen the December Kit from the Hip Kit Club to forge:
Coincidentally we chose their kit last January too ... must be something they do well around this time of year! A little too pale pink and frosty for me ... but some pretty hearts, striking chevrons, a little printed text ... I decided to fake it with some warmer colours in amongst the greys:
 |
| Reverse Patterns (with some extra heart!) |
Basic Grey Granola Seed
BG Basics Glossary
Polar Bear Press Majestic Stripes (grey)
PBP Red Ridge Paisley (red)
Engraved Fruit Brick from K&Co
PBP Rustic Retreat Stickers
PBP Blue Ridge Paisley (dark grey)
BG Basics Docket
Jenni Bowlin Studio Element Stickers
Various toning trims from my stash
Various toning buttons from my stash
WRMK Enamel Shapes
Want a quick tutorial on the forging of the hearts paper? ... please come back on the 4th!

Love the kit, Jemma. It almost makes me wonder if you're already gearing up to Valentine's Day!
ReplyDeleteLove your kit so much more than the original. I am not much of a soft colors or pink person.
ReplyDeleteI love how you've based your kits on the greys and made a kit all your own. It's really lovely. And some of those warmer reds have a hint of Marsala in there - Pantone's colour of the year!
ReplyDeleteLove your take on the kit - the warmer colors are really perfect for January!
ReplyDeleteLoving your colours and very clever forging of that paper!
