Vacation - CSI case file no. 324

It's already July! and it's the 1st, so a new case file (challenge) is up at CSI:

This time we have a yummy case file, filled with beautiful colors of yellow, pink and pale blue.

I used my June mini counterfeit kit for this layout, with a self made yarn rainbow I made, following Rachel Lowe's tutorial, which you can find HERE.
From the clues, I used: woodgrain pattern and wood embellishment, pattern with multicolored small pattern against solid (the tiny hearts pp), gesso, flowers, metal, enamel dots, sprinkle something, stamps and using the same font in different colos.
For my testimony, I was inspired by the IW 'Dance' and wrote my journaling on a painted spot.
Here're some close ups on the details:

Happy Day - mini kit for Counterfeit Kit June 2020

Counterfeit Kit Club got a lovely kit to counterfeit this month - Clique kits international called 'Wonderful World'. Here's a photo of the kit:

I decided to make a mini kit based on the inspiration kit, using some ot the colors - pink, pale blue and yeallow.

Papers - I gathered one 7 Dots Studio 12x12 pp and some 6x6 pp (WhiteRus').

For the embellishments - stickers (TH chit chat, Kaisercraft curasive words, La La Land), paper flowers, wood flowers, Robin's Nest dew drops, doily chipboard, enamel dots, paper clip and some washi tape stripes.

I also put in two Martha Stewart's punches to match the butterflies and photo corners in the inspiration kit, and some Lindy's Gang products in matching colors.

Naturally, I also included a counterfeit item - the yarn rainbow - 

I used Rachel Lowe's tutorial to make this rainbow. You can find it HERE.

I will be using this mini kit for my DT layout for CSI, which will be posted on July 1st, so stay tuned...

At the seaside - mini kit with Counterfeit Kit Club challenge

Counterfeit Kit Club challenge blog has a fab inspiration for July, with The ScrapRoom's June kits.

This time I didn't want to make a big kit, as I'm afraid I won't be using it...., so I went on a smaller version of a mini kit, knowing I will definitely use it for a layout I'm plannig to make.

I took inspiration from the Doubleshot kit, with the Echo Park papers from 'Good Day Sunshine' collection:

I was inspired by the colors - red, navy blue, sky blue and yellow (I didn't want to add the greens...).

One of my goals is to use scraps and leftovers, as well as some new untouched products. I need to destash...

Having that in mind, I put into my mini kit, along with full sized papers, some leftover papers and stickers. I also opened (finally...) a nevertouched ephemera pack, added some flair buttons, wooden ship wheels, dew drops and washi tapes. I also included some real seashells!

So here's my 'At the seaside' mini kit:

Ephemera and dew drops:

embellies:

I will be sharing the layout I'm making with this kit in a week or so...
