October 2026 - Challenge #1 - Fall Color

 Let's kick off our first challenge of the month with a little color play! Use your kit to create a layout using at least three traditional Autumn colors...orange, rust, mustard, brown, burgundy, olive or cream. Here's the fun part - add an unexpected pop of pink or purple! I can't wait to see what unexpected combinations you come up with! As a reminder, here's our inspiration kit:

 

Let's see what our Master Forgers have created:

This layout came together quickly. In the Counterfeit Kit Club we like to add challenges. Used lots of Simple Stories Pumpkins and Plain collection. A woodgrain background and a sketch. Used beautiful fall colors and the challenge was to add a non traditional fall color. I chose teal. It was perfect with the photo.

 I absolutely love the kit this month.  Fall colors are my favorites, next to pink!  I was excited about this challenge because it uses all the colors of fall, plus a splash of pink.  I thought pink pumpkins were the perfect addition.  There's even a shade of pink in one cluster of leaves, tying the layout colors together.

When I made my kit I was concerned that I did not have many fall themed layouts to make.  Then I discovered that I had lots of photos that were taken during the fall season.  I documented a photo of a trip to Las Vegas in the month of October and this month's kit worked perfectly.  And the pink on the layout helps to bring out the pink on the photo!  Here is the link to my process video in case you are interested.  https://youtu.be/ch3ezT_2JrM
