110419 CKC Forgery on the Fourth

I had all sorts of ideas on how to forge most of the kit, until I took a troll through my stash & surprisingly discovered many quite good look-alikes to make up my kit. Here is what I hand crafted:

Some of the papers to forge.

The light bulb banner on blue sky could have been achieved so much easier than coloring in the paper with a Sharpie & then fussy-cutting those teeny tiny light bulbs! Just draw on the paper!

The other two forged papers were easily achieved by finding good look-alike papers & stamping the star motifs.

Some embellishments that inspired forging:

Loved the bold black stars (snowflakes?) that were easily achieved with a Sharpie. I wanted a scripty word so I stamped one. Those little houses are totally swoony! Another fussy-cut from this American Crafts paper plus a little coloring faked them nicely.

Easy-peasy! Thankful that my stash yielded up so many goodies, though.

Can't wait to see yours! 

Here's what we have coming up:

• November 6th:  We'll reveal a couple of mini-kits and projects, in case you're a little limited for time this month and would prefer a more petite kit.
