PInk & Gray cards for Altair Arts' Ever & Always II collection

Happy Friday dear crafty friends,

A little late, but better than never, I'm sharing my cards with the beautiful new collection by Altair Arts: 'Ever & Always II'.

It was posted a few days ago on the Altair Art Blog HERE.

As soon as I saw the papers I just fell in love with this collection! Such beautiful colors and designs, so delicate and elengant. Love it!

For my cards I decided to go on the pink & gray colors. I love this combination of colors, as it gives a very elegant look to any project.

Here're some close-ups:

LIfe is beautiful - October Counterfeit Kit

New months and new kit to counterfeit, at Coutnerfeit Kit Challenge blog. This time it's not a kit, rather a collection, and one by Prima - St. Tropez:

When I make my kits for the Counterfeit Kit Challenge, I start with the colors, then I go for pattrens and last are elements. 

This is what I came up with for this collection:

Colors - mint/seafoam, navy blue, baby blue, brown, pink, cream, yeallow.

Pattrens - maps, flowrs, tripes, woodgrain, fruits.

Elements - nautical, boarding tickets, journaling cards, hearts, butterflies, bicycles, bloons, crystals, flowers. words - life, hello, ocean, journey.

With all of the above, I dived into my stash and this is what I came up with - 'Life is beautiful', my counterfeit kit:

main kit

rub-ons, smaller pp

alphas

bits & pieces

embellishments (lots of flowers, most of them handmade by me)

And what is a kit without an add-on one? So here's my 'Life is beautiful add-ons':

I really love this kit and I'm already working on a layout I'll be sharing with you in a day or two, so keep an eye.
