October 2022 - Just the Gist of It

Hello! It's Master Forger of Ceremonies Leslie giving you a better sense of & a closer look at our October inspiration kit:

 

August 2022 Cherry Box from A Cherry On Top

A Cherry on Top describes this box as follows: The August Box has a beautiful vintage feel and neutral color palette with products from 49 and Market! With this box, you can create scrapbook layouts, cards, art journals, and more! Also included in the box is a Mini Distress Ink Pad which is perfect for adding a little distressing to the vintage pieces.

Now let me show you the individual 49 & Market components up close:

Fabric tape & washi.

Stamp set, chipboard & epoxy stickers.

Laser cuts.

Papers: Golden Dream, Savor, Essence, Zealous.

Add one of the Distress Ink Mini Set #3: Antique Linen, Vintage Photo, Walnut Stain or Black Soot

The neutral toned, vintage, mixed media styled natural elements lend to a beautifully subtle kit. I'm looking for leafy grungy pieces & a few supplies to have at hand for distressing. The kit does not include alphabets but the color scheme, if you decide to follow it, lends itself to fairly obvious choices. 

If the neutrals don't appeal or if you simply wish for a little more color, choose your own palette to build a monochromatic scheme. Include vintage touches, natural elements, and plenty of things to layer up.  I hope you are inspired by this beautiful kit!
