Counterfeit Kit Challenge - Mini Kit and Project Reveal

 Welcome to the Counterfeit Kit Challenge Mini Kit and Project Reveal.  First off Lisa picked the Papers and Beyond "Follow Your Bliss" kit. Lisa says, " When I took a closer look at the Follow Your Bliss Kit, I knew it was the right one for us for this Easter month. A mix of funky Vicky Boutin and pretty Jen Hadfield, this American Crafts kit felt like a splash of spring with a lot of potential for gorgeous kits with possible forgeries sprinkled right in there!"

Here is their kit.

The Mini Kit is always a challenge for me, and this month proves no different. Do I make a few Travelers Journal pages, a set of the pocket pages, what about a few cards, tags and gift boxes? 

I chose a Colorbok paper from the Paislee paper pad as it had most of the inspiration kit colors as my starting point. From them I added in dark olive gray green cardstock, yellow cardstock and a few paper scraps from my scrap pile. 

For the embellishments I added in a pre- made butterfly from a Tim Holtz die, a few pre-made flowers, a couple of labels that were punch and one that was stamped and cut out, a few silk flowers a huge green chrysanthemum, flower and butterfly brads, and Basic Gray stickers (2009) and a pre - stamped and fuzzy cut medallion. I am also brining in my bird punch and circle punch.

I ended up making a regular 12x12 layout.  

The medallion is cut apart along with the green chrysanthemum flower. I cut apart the sticker and used the larger one at the top of the photo and the smaller one at the bottom of the photo.

 I inked the edges of the white and yellow cardstock along with the birds. 

Thanks for stopping by.
