As a design team member over at the Counterfeit Kit Challenge group I play along with as many of our monthly inspiration challenges as I can. The Forgery on the Fourth project is definitely one I enjoy! That is where we see a scrap product we like and set out to recreate it with supplies we already own. So let’s go ahead and dive in to what I have for you this month.
Since we always start our forgery projects with inspiration, here is the image we are working with this month. It is the DLS Designs, Timeless collection.
I wanted to recreate a few different pattern papers from this kit, and a washi tape from the add-ons. I loved the yellow striped paper, the starry green-teal paper and the scalloped paper. I set to making each item.
Everything was pretty straight forward. The hardest recreation was the scalloped print since I didn’t have any stamps to do that one. Instead I used an embossing folder and had to figure out how to get the patterns to align over several separate pieces; twelve by twelve sheets of paper do not fit in an embossing machine! You can see everything in the video.
For more creative ideas, the CKC blog has more forgery examples to check out. I hope this gave you some ideas on how you can recreate your favorite products with supplies you already have on hand. Don’t forget to show off your stuff over on the CKC Facebook group, or tag us on Instagram @counterfeitkitchallenge or use #counterfeitkitchallenge.
Until next time, have an artful day.
