this month we are counterfeiting a lovely blue and yellow kit from Birds of a feather
Unfortunately I don't have any papers in that lovely dark blue so I have gone for the nearest I can. They are all single sided (except 2 but the other side colours are not in the scheme)
I can only name a few as most do not have anything on them.
The yellow woodgrain is by K&Co
the floral blue one is Sandylion
Swirly blue is Lilykate by Basic Grey
Blue brown lined one is My Minds Eye
Blue artex ceiling design is Up Up and Away
the circle blue one is Sweet Pea by Fancy Pants
I didn't have any corrugated card so chose textured white
As there is a lovely 12x12 sheet of stickers in the kit we are counterfeiting I grabbed lots of stickers and cut outs that had the right colour scheme (don't think I'll go short of things to add to my pages)
the little bunches of flowers from the original kit I have had to improvise, the yellow ones I made and the blue ones I died by spritzing them with glimmer mist.
frames are by Colorbok
Alphas It's the little things by fancy pants
No wooden butterflies (found one after I made up the kit)so I've grabbed some E-Z stick on 3D ones by Royal Langnickel
Now that will never do there are no button in the original kit and I can't be without buttons after all that is my username isn't it.
So here is my add on kit
buttons of course, more bling, odd bits of patterned paper, more ribbon & lace and more butterfly stickers and another alpha
and of course I just couldn't wait to use it so without further ado here is my first page
I had a little play with the first photo making my face hair and hand sepia leaving the rest black and white. Quite pleased with the effect.
