091413 CKC CHA Bonus Challenge for September

Counterfeit Kit Challenge Blog - CHA BONUS CHALLENGE:  

Make a kit based on the CHA Summer 2013 New releases!

 My choice? Glitz Design Hello, December - such a fun, graphic line.

 

I am intending to use this for my December Daily project this year. 
I am rarely this prepared so I am hoping it will make that project a real joy. Let's start with the papers...

The red Stripe was easy peasy - a little red Target washi tape, careful measuring, and some distressing with Sweet Cherry Color Shine & some homemade watered-down white paint mist. The green Moroccan print?  Jillibean Soup White Lattice diecut paper & some Adirondack Snow Cap paint made quick work of this one!

 The boldest forgery was the Floral paper. I would NEVER have attempted this without our amazing September Guest Designer Isbaha's terrific tutorial! I used her tips for the floral paper she counterfeited and I couldn't be more pleased.

How fun is the Trees paper? I simply adhered some of my Studio Calico wood veneer trees to a stamping block & painted the colors I wanted with Adirondack Snow Cap, Sunshine Yellow, Red Pepper & Lettuce Paint Dabbers.  The woodgrain B side of Floral? I simply stamped my All Night Media woodgrain stamp with Ranger Barn Door Distress Ink onto white cardstock, then went to the scanner & copied at 200% 

Next the Giant Rhinestones caught my eye. 

I knew I could make quick work of these with my Tim Holtz Ideology Facets & a deer head graphic 
from the Graphics Fairy, some gold vellum w/a snowflake sticker, and a Mambi Chip peppermint. 
A little Glossy Accents to glue them together & voila!

Counterfeit What Nots, Bits & Pieces & Accent Stickers

 
 I have to say my favorite is the chalkboard deer card. 
I simply used another Graphics Fairy image & changed it to a negative image 
with the transparency increased to imitate a chalkboard background!

The original kit had a patterned washi tape, but I decided to add a little MORE "Glitz" 
& used some coarse gold glitter with 1/2" Scor-Tape to make my own version & add a little bling.

My happy scrappy place is now permanently decked in chunky gold glitter! 
Just makes it happier :~)


 And here is my complete kit -

I added 10 more papers, a 6x6 Studio Calico "Wonderland" pad and some washi.

I plan to keep tossing stuff in here until December first!
