March 2020 Counterfeit Kit Challenge Blog Hop - CKC March 2020 - Nature Walk

Welcome to the March Counterfeit Kit Challenge Blog Hop.  Lori is up this month and she says, "We have had a string of cloudy, dreary, rainy, snowy days around here, and that paired with the fact that the first day of spring is in March here in the Northern Hemisphere had me looking for a bright and springy kit." She has picked Citrus Twist's February 2020 Scrapbooking Add-on Kit for the inspiration kit this month. 

Citrus Twist also has a Life Crafted Kit. 

 Our guest designer this month is the wonderfully talented Julie Jeavons and you should have arrived here from Julie's Blog. 

I decided to make two separate page kits for papers but the embellishments can be used on either one.

I started my kit with this inspiration piece from Pink Fresh - Be You "Kind" I knew I had some Jen Hadfield paper that would work well with the color scheme, but then I went a little crazy and pulled even more paper. I wanted to use some of the Pink fresh which are newer to me than some of the Jen Hadfield and Pop Culture which is from 2002. 

It had most of the colors from the inspiration kit and I can use the paper as embellishment or as paper. I love the flower and bird that are on these little squares.

Now for my embellishments:

Then I pulled out some ribbon, buttons, frames, bottle caps washi flowers pre-made, DIY and silk along with some miscellaneous chipboard pieces. The heart frames are from an old Amy Tangerine paper pack that I cut apart.

Now for the tools.

Unity Stamp Company - March 2019 KOTM {gather love}, Stampin Up - Notably Ornate, Bliss, and Punch Potpourri along with the punch for the flower and bird, Gina K stamp and dies, star punch and single flower die which has not been uses.
