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 [kit] from [company].
I had two big favorites from this kit. I loved the colorful stipes on black pattern paper from Simple Stories. Then of course I just adored the paintbrush paper from Vicki Boutin. I did have anything like either of these in my stash, so it was time to make my own.
I decided to paper piece and ink my brushes. For the stripes I pulled out my thinest washi tapes and set to work. How do you think I did?
If you want to see more of the process on these, I do have a video tutorial up.
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 product ideas with supplies you may 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.
