November 2024 - Forgeries on the Fourth

 

Today is the day when our Master Forgers share the forgeries they have created for the month of November. First, let me remind you of our inspiration kit, Goldenrod by Traci Reed Designs.

Master Forger Misty

I liked many of the pattern papers and set out to recreate two of them. If you look at the pattern paper options, I recreated the 4th and 5th papers, counting from the right.

For the the white-stars-on-black, a simple star punch made this make super easy.

Next up I attempted to recreate the white-pumpkin-on-orange pattern paper. I was trying a different technique than I should have used. While my attempt isn't a great match for the original, the resulting distressed vibe is something I ended up liking.

For my forgeries, I put my Silhouette to work, using card stock that coordinated with the inspiration kit colors.  I chose two of the phrases, which I will use as titles.  I also cut out some flowers, using large buttons for the centers.  A simple leaf design completed my set of forgeries.

I really liked the multi striped paper in the inspiration kit, so I tried to replicate it by dragging ink pads along the paper, then blending

 

I wasn't pleased with how it turned out so I decided to make some embellishments with it. I used dies for the pumpkins and leaves. A punch and stamps were used for the tickets. 

Don't be afraid to try some forgeries of your own.  Be sure to post them so we can all admire them!
