Here in the U.S. it's Independence Day!

We will be at a small town parade & barbecue nearby where my daughter lives,

but I'm delighted that you stopped in for some forgery help.

I tackled a few of the papers first (as usual)

The kit had the two lace papers on the left - mine are on the right.

I used this Basic Gray throwback paper - Aged & Confused Sublime/Raspberry Blue.

Misted with Dylusions White Linen Ink Spray over a Prima floral stencil.

The white lace forgery was simply an ANCIENT Martha Stewart overlay on cardstock!

Forging isn't always labor intensive or needful of a slew of supplies, it's breaking down the inspiration into an element that speaks to you & works with what you have on hand.

Our goal is to motivate you to use up all the goodies in your stash by seeing them in a new light.

Next were some Project Life-style cards.

See the little "LOVE" one?
I couldn't get a larger image, but you can see the inspiration in mine.
There was one little floral accent in the "O".
I have a beautiful alpha stamp set in my kit that made this special.

Here are all of the cards:

The love birds, top left, are some Little Yellow Bicycle canvas stickers
spritzed with a teal, blue & white Dylusions ink mist.
Then I stamped a few details - makes me happy!

I mopped up the leftover ink with some 3x5" graph grid cards.
I used one with some chipboard butterflies.

 

I had a lot of fun with these.
 I think I'll be doing these as a regular part of my kits.

Enjoy the rest of the inspiration!
See you on the 6th for Challenge #1.

Thanks for stopping by!
