Counterfeit Kit Challenge July Blog Hop Reveal

Welcome to the July Counterfeit Kit Challenge blog hop kit reveal.


If you've arrived here directly, I recommend you go back to the beginning of the hop over at the CKC site (here) so you don't miss out on any of the fun and inspiration. If you are here via the delightful Julie (here) then you are on the right track and I'm glad you've stopped by. Leave me a message to let me know you were here and then go off and make up your kit! 


The inspiration kit this month is by the new kit club Citrus Twist Kits and is their June Summer Boardwalk kit. 


And I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it. And I mean head. over. heels. It happens over and over again with the inspiration kit we get to work with but this month really saw me sit up and pay extra attention. ;-)

I loved the colours, the papers, the content of the kit. Loved it all. And then something very strange happened. I found myself going online and ordering the papers, the alphas and a couple of the matching embellies. I couldn't help myself. Before I knew it, I had an full kit on order. Oh my! Just what I don't do - normally! 

I did challenge myself to mix in a few older items when I finished making up the kit and ended up suing some coloured cardstock that's been hanging around for ages, two sheets of really old paper....

A mix of flowers and buttons - some of which are also really old...

And even though I had really tried to track down some of the gorgeous Studio Calico veneer shapes, I failed to get any :-( So I added in some little wooden shapes I had already. Some of the colours are a bit bright but I might try misting or inking them. 


I happen to know there's some really serious counterfeiting going on with some of my fellow forgers for these items so I'll be watching out for those and giving them a try. Don't forget to check them out too.

The colours and elements reminded me a lot of summer and my better half came up with the idea of calling it "Beach-house" which seemed perfect!


I really hope you love the kit as much as I do and will have a lot of fun creating your version.


Here's the list of hoppers today - enjoy the ride and go check out Libeeti's kit -you are in for a treat!
