My April Counterfeit Kit!

The Counterfeit Kit Challenge is in it's fourth month, and is going strong! The April inspiration kit was by a brand new kit club called Front Porch Kits! "A Little Birdie Told Me" is full of really fun bird papers and embellishments that are perfect for spring! I was really drawn to the color combination of the kit, which contains bright red, teal, chartreuse, yellow, and black. I chose to use brown instead of black, to coordinate with my papers. Some of the patterns I could not even come close to matching, so I attempted to make two of them. This was a really fun experiment, although it can be challenging and time consuming. Stay tuned for a tutorial on how I re-created "Stamp of approval" and "Gerber Daisy"!
