June Counterfeit Kit Challenge

I missed the May Counterfeit Kit Challenge (just too busy at work!) so I am looking forward to playing along again this month.

The Inspiration Kit for June is by Burlap and Buttercups. Very pretty and summery! You can see the original kit here.  Click here to see what the "Masters of Forgery" created for their kits.

I did a pretty straightforward copy of the kit. I didn't have any Basic Grey "Hello Luscious" but I did have some papers from their recent "Sweet Threads" line, so I used those along with their alphabet stickers. I also threw in a few sheets of patterned paper from Little Yellow Bicycle's Elizabeth Park line, some old Creative Imaginations scalloped, lined paper, and an old Making Memories die-cut scallop paper.  All the patterned paper is rounded out by 6 sheets of Bazzill in pink, blue, green, yellow, off-white, and kraft.

Last month I went overboard with the embellishments, so I tried not to go crazy this month.  I included some old BG painted brads, green pushpins, yellow ribbon, old chipboard frames, and a set of Jenni Bowlin butterflies. I may also make some counterfeit bloomers using the patterned paper and my trusty Big Shot die cut machine.
Thanks for stopping by! I look forward to seeing all of your kits (and what you create with them!).

  4. Your kit turned out just lovely. I kept my kit a bit smaller than usual this month too and I have found I'm using it more. Can't wait to see what you do with this and your home made flowers if you make those.
