Counterfeit Kit Challenge July 2021

 This is unique challenge.  Instead of encouraging us to buy more of what you don’t need; this challenge encourages you to use what you already have.  They choose a kit for you to copy for the month.  You can copy it anyway you want.  Here is the kit to be copied:

Contents 

• Two 12x12 Buenos Dias double sided papers 

• One 12x12 Buenos Dias transparency 

• Two 12x12 cut apart double sided papers 

• One 4x6 stamp set 

• One set of Buenos Dias epoxy stickers 

• One set of die cuts

This kit as portrayed here didn’t inspire me at all.  I wasn’t even tempted to make a copy.  I went in and explored it a little more and found something that inspired.

This paper reminded me of a sunrise.  I am working on a 2018 project where each month had a theme then sub themes. This project needs to be completed so I decided to use the Counterfeit Kit Challenge to help me.   After looking at pictures the above  paper was perfect for March 2018 - Light.  There are 4 sections in March, Sunrise, Light, Sparkle & Shine.

The example kit was small so I put together a small kit.

The first picture is the sunrise done on a paper similar to the inspiration page.  The colors are more muted but still have wavy stripes of color.  The second picture is the intro to the month of March  To help the sparkle page sparkle I used, glitter ribbon, glitter glue & embossing powder.  I was afraid the  pictures on the shine page would blend into the background and be lost but the black helps the light to shine.  The shine page is enhanced with embossed stamping in each circle of the border.

 

As small as the kit was I still had leftovers.  I had a full sheet untouched,  a sheet I could cut down to an 8 1/2 x 11. and one scrap.  Now to find pictures to go with the rest of the kit.  This month I had to wait for pictures to arrive so the posting is way late.  In the future hopefully will have done sooner..  Will try to remember to post how I finish the rest of the kit.
