It's Time to Counterfeit Again!

Yay! One of my favorite parts of the month!! Yesterday, The Counterfeit Kit Challenge Blog shared the new kit for us to be inspired by, and today, the Master Forgers are having a blog hop to share our kits with you!
The kit club that they chose for our inspiration this month was http://www.cocoadaisy.com/, and we had some FANTASTIC kits to be inspired by! Here are the Cocoa Daisy kits:
Amber Snowflake:
 Cocoa and Marshmallows:
 Frosty Windowpane:
 Sunshine and Snowflakes:
 Merry And Bright:
I was very inspired, especially by the color palette-I loved the cool blues and the warm yellows and golds, with some black cream and brown thrown in to make it feel more vintage.
