The February Counterfeit Kit Challenge

I had a lot of fun with the Counterfeit Kit Challenge last month, so how could I resist playing along in February too? This month's kit-to-copy comes from Scraps Of Darkness:

and as you can see, it's dark, it's gothic. it's really quite black. Now, I don't use a lot of black when I'm scrapbooking, although I have been through a black phase - and I have The Smiths CD's to prove it - so I knew I had to find another direction to take the kit in. Then I remembered the page I had torn from a magazine a while back because I loved the striking decor. It's a Swedish Country look in white and black; similar to the style of a favourite interiors blog of mine: Me And Alice.

So that's what my kit became. Scandanavian Country instead of Romantic Gothic. With black and white and gray and, for contrast, a touch of green with a little shabby chic floral thrown in too. This is a kit I know I will use.
