September Counterfeit Kit Challenge Blog Hop



Hi you all and welcome to Counterfeit Kit Challenge September Blog Hop.
With a Sweet Relish scrapbook layout.
If you are coming from the amazing Lisa's blog then your right on track. The challenges this month are:
Challenge #1:  Own Challenge: Your turn to challenge the counterfeiters.
Challenge #2:  Selfie Challenge: Scrap a selfie.
Challenge #3:  Mixed Media Embellishment: Get messy and inky with some home-made embellies.


I decided to get messy and made a couple of homemade embellishments for my layout.
 
 I found that I enjoy making and creating my own embellishments occasionally and when challenged I do like to tackle a good one. I thought I would give the foil dry embossed piece that was in last month's kit, some pieces from this month's kit and grabbed a tag too. I used some Close to My Heart  create a shade paint (pearl) plus 2 inkers SU crushed curry and crumb cake and some glitter for fun. I also used some crackle paint and Crackled accents and glossy  accents just to see what would happen.
The tag ended up being the one that got special treatment with both inker colors and the glitter and made a fine place to use for a title. I found that when I get home from work and only have an hour or 2 to play this is the time to do these kind of creative things cause when I wake up it's all dried and ready to go onto the layout.
I used a sketch for my layout from Sketch N Scrap #64

 Some detail photos of the layout:

 Added a few other things from the kit including the word art, journaling tag, washi tape and arrows
I really enjoyed playing yesterday and putting this layout together.
