A {C}old Case

Welcome to the October Counterfeit Kit Blog Hop - if you arrived here from Clair via our guest designer Tina, then you'll know that we're shaking things up this month by creating Counterfeit Kits Identi-kits using a {c}old Case File #S365-9 from the parnership between Colour Stories Inspiration Blog and the now deceased Scrap365 (I miss that magazine)!

October Counterfeit Kit Inspiration - CSI Case File #S365-9

The Scheme: I started looking through my papers to see what might match the colours and found a pair of papers in pale green and orange as well as a sheet with ecru/grey on one side and yellow on the other.  All colours found, I raided some 6x6 pads and my scraps bags for extra patterns. Matching mini-alphas should help me with the clues!


The Evidence: Leafy washi, metal brads, coloured string and bakers twine add to the picture along with some wood veneer stars and buttons to scatter around.  Those heart-shaped enamel shapes help support the case. 

Supplies:
Green tiny floral print paper - unknown manufacturer as this was an outcast from a friend's stash
Lily Bee Design Queen Bee (yellow damask reverse)
¼ sheet Grandpa's Overalls Stripe by Mustard Moon
⅓ sheet Basic Grey Create from Colour Me Silly
Orange tiny floral print paper - same source as above!
6x6 sheet Pink Paislee Prairie Hill
6x6 sheet American Crafts Thataway Collection
¼ sheet Echo Park Navy (?) Ombre (grey reverse)
¼ sheet Holly-Christmas Vanilla by daisy d’s
Echo Park All About The Boy Superhero (teal, white, orange explosion reverse)
MM Paper Reverie Noir alpha stickers
WRMK green leafy washi tape
Grey, yellow and orange paper blooms
Grey washi tapes (from a fellow blogger)
American Crafts wood veneer stars
Lily Bee Designs ABC neutral mini alphas
Grey and white baker's twine
Cream and orange hemp cord from Hemptique
MLS Fog mini alpha stickers
Basic Grey Archaic glazed brads
Bingo Card from SS Urban Traveller
WRMK Enamel Shapes
7 Dots Studio Illumination word stickers
There's still some Case File Testimony for use during the month ... which should help me solve the huge pile of photos that I still have to scrap!

Now you need to pop over to Julene and see what supplies she has managed to unearth!  If the trail goes cold, you can always pop back to the incident room here and work out where to take the next step.

Very pretty kit, Jemma. There is a gentle simplicity to the patterns you've chosen. It should be a good kit to work with.

You have such a beautiful kit to work with this month! I love it! I'm also a little envious of your clever way with words and was smiling a lot while reading your 'statement' x

Susan said...

This is really beautiful! You replicated the color scheme so well and your addition of blue really brightens up your kit. I love all the washi tapes too.

What a fun paragraph to start of your kit well executed cold case file :) Love your choices and it'll be fun to see them put to use with those photos :)

Wonderful sleuthing! Your vibrant colors give it a completely different look while being just as spot on! Those oranges and yellows are terrific!

This is a lovely soft autumnal colourway, isn't it ... You're going to be able to do some super things with your version. I like that yellow linen-look paper. I had one in a lime-y green - Basic Grey, I think?

I really like how you added in the Denim blue - It goes so well with the fall colors. your little stars inspired me to add some to my kit!

Margie said...

Lovely kit! I love the leafy washi

Kelly Sroka said...

Late to the commenting party this month but time enough to see your wonderful kit. Small and perfectly formed, like the blog hop this month! I really like those colours and using up scraps is always a winner in my book. The small amounts of washi are interesting - did you do that yourself? And of course, I can't resist enamel hearts and shapes as well as those super cute stars which I tend to hoard. A kit that is very much you and really appealing to me too!
