Counterfeit Kit Challenge #2 - A Rainbow of Color

Welcome to the Counterfeit Kit Challenge #2. First here is a reminder of our inspiration kit, Coco Daisy August 2020 Backyard Blooms kit.

Master Forger Tara says "This kit is all about beautiful, bright colors and today I would like you to create a rainbow of color on your layout or card without using an actual rainbow!" Here are some layouts Tara found on Pinterest for inspiration.

I included in my Rainbow Kisses kit this month a bunch of flowers and leaves cut from Paper Issues free files. I used their Layered Flowers and Leaves and Laurel cut files.

I spent a day cutting them out of various pieces of cardstock most of which came from the DVWC cardstock paper pads. I cut one flower and one leaves from each color of cardstock.

I then started layering them up on a piece of white cardstock which is matted onto a piece of Kraft cardstock. I made sure to save the insides of the outline pieces as I used them for tucking behind a few flowers and scattered around the color family. As a last touch I added a few of the sequins I included in the kit. The pictures is of the Clematis that is planted in the backyard. It did not do very well last year and I though I was going to have to replace it, but this year is is beautiful.

I use a few of the leaf branches grouped by color family and made a couple of cards. I stamped the "Hello" and outlined it with Colorbox ink.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Don't forget to check out the Counterfeit Kit Challenge blog to see how the rest of the Master Forgers we inspired by "A Rainbow of Color".

Apple Blossoms

I'm using my Counterfeit Kit Challenge June 2021 Kit - Rainbow Kisses for todays layout. I had cut a bunch of flowers and leaves that I included in my kit. I pulled out a few embossing folders and ran them through to add interest to the cut files. I used an Alison Davis Sketch from her newest class and e-book.

We are having a new driveway put in and my Crab Apple tree is coming down. The roots have made a mess of the driveway.

I layered the leaves and flowers around photo and then sprinkled a few of sequins around it. Below is a picture of the Crab Apple Tree.

Counterfeit Kit Challenge - Forgeries on the Fourth

Welcome to the Forgeries on the Fourth. Our inspiration kit this month is Coco Daisy's August 2020 Backyard Blooms kit. Here is a reminder of what the kit loos like and includes:

I downloaded a couple of files from Paper Issues, I could have downloaded a few more but I wanted to keep them the same in different colors. The first one is Layered Flowers and the second one is Leaves and Laurel. I cut each one out of different shades of red, yellow orange, blue and green cardstock. I tried to have the colors of the flowers and leaves be the same cardstock but there are a few that are different.

I've used my Silhouette to cut out a bunch if flowers in various cardstock colors for this months embellishments.

I basically spent one day cutting out the embellishments, but it does make for a pretty paper. Don't forget to stop by the Counterfeit Kit Challenge blog for more inspiration on making your own forgeries.

Thanks for stopping by.
