Forgeries on the Fourth

The November inspiration kit for the Counterfeit Kit Challenge Blog is the Citrus Twist Kit, Little Things and can be found here. I made a few forgeries from this kit.

First off is my favorite. I fell in love with the Maggie Holmes Spread Love paper - the multi paper side was included in our inspiration kit.

I pulled out my bag of scraps to make my pieces. I cheated by not punching them into squares, instead I used rectangles and a 12x12 cardstock. I used white because I wanted a small border around the edge of the paper. I started cutting random strips approximately 3" long and various sizes. 

I love the way it turned out and will have to continue making a background paper  with my scraps when I'm done with my kits.  

My next forgeries include the:
Amy Tangerine Inflated Hearts:

From the Pinkfresh Studio - Indigo Hills 2 collection - the frames and die cut leaves

To make my hearts I stamped and fussy cut, punched and die cut several heart shapes, then used glossy accents to make them shinny. I did let them dry overnight.

For my  rectangle frame I used several colors of distress ink, starting with the lightest and working to the darkest. I did use my misti to so that I would be stamping in the same place every time.

For the leaves I used a combination of scrap cardstock and fun foam. I know the kit didn't have read leaves but the red will go well with mine. I even die cut a couple of words.

Now for all of my forgeries.
