080814 August CKC Tutorial

Wowwa.
This was a BIG inspiration kit.

Studio Calico Penny Arcade

Each month the Counterfeit Kit Challenge blog presents it's own unique inspiration.
This month the sheer volume of kit & add-on choices was phenomenal!
My kit actually included 26 pieces of paper!  =O  
(I got a little carried away...)

 Every time I looked I found something else to forge or sub from my stash.




I made my version of the happy little cloud paper.
I still need to find a rub-on sentiment for it.

The feather paper I really loved, but it didn't go well with my kit.
I forged just the feathers for embellis.

The doodled alpha paper was irresistable.
Mine is less elaborate but I feel still a success.






I used a white pen to suggest the outline of the cloud & added chalk to enhance it.
His cute little cheeks were printed using a pencil end eraser - makes a perfect dot!



Found this 2004(!) Making
Memories rub-on sentiment
plus the tiny 2011 Studio
Calico cloud rub-ons









It took me three tries to get this right. I can still use them on the brown side as well.

These alpha stamps were actually quite small so I kept the doodles simple on the letters.




I loved the tissue fringe & remembered that I 
have the perfect paper & tools to make this 
forgery easy-peasy.

The cloud stencil I have translated into 
a vellum overlay.





The adorable printed tissue & fringe scissors accomplished this in a snap.

Punch, punch, punch & done!


This is an ancient wood veneer 
tag that I simply punched out.

This was a product I hadn't used before.
They will buff up to more of a shine once dry.

Now it's your turn!
Start your mental wheels turning & please share the results over at Mr. Linky.

080114 August Counterfeit Kit

 Entering into the dog days of summer in my part of the globe, I would like to give a warm welcome to our August Guest Designer Sherri Thompson! Be sure you toddle over to her blog if you haven't already hopped there, say hello, & prepare to be inspired.

OODLES of inspiration this month over at the Counterfeit Kit Challenge blog 
with this bodacious inspiration kit line, "Penny Arcade" from Studio Calico!


Three main kits plus add-ons with names like Skeeball, Spun Sugar, 
Fortune Teller, Pinball, High Striker, Funnel Cake & Bottle Toss, 
I am now looking forward to our county fair this month!  
My very first thought was to do page kits with those names in mind 
(wish I had) but I reverted to starting with the papers & never looked back...

Let's go see what's in the Magic Blue Box!


Hot Summer Days




Make sure you visit the CKC tutorial post on the 8th to see how I forged these:


Now continue on the blog hop to reveal more inspiring counterfeits from our Designers!
