February Counterfeit Kit - Scraps of Darkness

I found a fun blog that encourages you to mimic popular kits. It is called the Counterfeit Kit Challenge.

For the month of February, they are encouraging scrapers to replica the wonderful “Scrap-of-Darkness Kit.”

Here’s my take on the kit.

I love this idea because if I don’t have it I will paint it or make it. For this challenge I painted paper and beads to match the kit.


This paper was added to match one of the papers I noticed in the add-on kit.



Also I stamped with ink and paint. Transparencies were used to make flourishes.



The fun part was trying to make the diamond mirrors. I thought about visiting my brother and picking the pieces off of a broken disco ball he has, but I think he’d get mad at me. So instead I used the mirror colored gift bag and double sided tape to make my own. The gift bag originally came from Dollar Tree. I noticed that Dollar General carries a silver/mirror tissue paper.
