COUNTERFEITING AWAY

Morning all, well this counterfeiting malarkey is such fun - I couldn't believe just how much fun I've been having, I'm gutted that my kit is almost fully depleted if I'm honest.

I might have to make a bigger kit next month!

This one incorporates some of the turquoise paper, based on the black card stock, I added buttons which I stitched to the paper.  I even managed a bit of stitching on the corner.


Up close you can see the hand stamped title; yes that does say Viking Flatpack.  This was the ultimate in DIY kit's when we were at Bamburgh Castle, apparently when the Vikings came over they brought furniture that could easily be put back together again, hence my title.

What a cool page. Glad you've used up so much of your kit - do make a bigger one next month, so we can see even more of your stuff.
