It's time for the Counterfeiters to show you some Forgery on the Fourth!

If you will recall, in the original inspiration kit from Kelly Purkey she had these papers:

I was inspired to make my own embellishments from the 2 center papers since I loved those patterns.  Since I'm still traveling, I broke out my trusty watercolors, my circle trace thingee (don't judge, I'm traveling without punches and only have what I can find in my dad's junk drawer lol) and my black gel pen.

I then just drew (loosely) some leafy strands and also some connected circles like the inspiration photo- definitely loose,  I like that organic feel cause there's less pressure to make it perfect-comes from being a scrapper and an art journaler and also the fact that I hate to measure ANYTHING.

Next, scribbly outline with a black pen of choice: I do scribbly cause it's too much pressure to be straight!

and VOILA-MY own watercolor embellishments inspired by patterned papers! You could leave it as patterned paper and do more repetitions or cut it out like I did.  Your art, your choice!

and of course, how I used them along with my July Counterfeit Kit!
