Designer Challenge - Mini Kit My Country

Few people suggested making a kit about their home country so I thought we can make kits about our home countries. I know not all of us are from the US so it will be very fun to see kits from all over the world. This challenge is an open challenge which means there is no due date. This way anyone can join in at any time.

FOr this challenge I want you to make

  • 10 pattern papers + optional solids
  • 30 elements (20 universal and 10 themed)
  • 10 word art pieces (5 universal and 5 themed)
  • for this challenge choose your own color palette

Oh and if you have ideas for fun designer challenges please leave them in the Designer Challenge Ideas thread so Marisa and I can create those challenges for you.

This is a great challenge ,
I am Dutch and would love to take this on .

Yay. I will be working along on a Polish kit. There was a patron request for kit about Poland smiley

what a neat idea, I am not a designer but would love to see what you all make

so, we have been in America for 5 generations but my ancestors came from The Netherlands. Can I join in with a Dutch kit?

Patricia, YES! join us.

Yes , please Patricia I would love to see your Dutch kit !

I would like to participate... I'm from Puerto Rico I can make something from the Caribbean. Tropical Forest and Beaches.

That sounds fun Enid, I can't wait to see your kit

I'm Dutch, too, and have a partial kit put together already. Maybe I'll see about adding to it.

Did anything ever come of this? smiley I'm working on a Swedish kit right now for this thread. I've got most of my papers and a few words done so far smiley

Awesome Kayl, I can't wait to see your kit.

This challenge is open so anyone can join in at any time, so other designers are working on their kits in the background.

Just noticed that none have ever been posted yet and was curious if maybe it was moved or something smiley

Kit is almost done, should be finished by tomorrow if I stay focused!

I did my best and had fun making this kit!

What a great idea!

I am from Spain and I had some ideas, but my country is not only about bulls, paella, sangrĂ­a or flamenco, there are more things, and it would be difficult for me to mix all the different Spanish cultures of Spain...

Maybe I will try to phocus my kit on the south of Spain which is the best known!

I was the same way! Sweden is know for meatballs, Ikea, crazy midsommar traditions and maybe eurovision or something like that. Haha But there is so much more, far too much to fit into one color palette! For that reason, I chose just to do Spring time and focus mostly on swedish flag colors. smiley I would love to see other kits on other countries!

Kayl, that is a good idea to base your kit on your flag colors!

Sonia, one of the ways of deciding the focus of your kit is to pick your favorite thing about Spain and make a kit about that.

I'm originally from Poland and I hopefully will make my kit soon (there is a request for this kind of a kit in the Patron request thread) I'm going to focus on the folk art that is gorgeous, we have gorgeous mountains, see side and like side that deserve to be mentioned as well. The biggest thing Poland is known is our reach and long history.

Great job Kayl. The colors are perfect and choosing a happy spring theme was a great idea. I still struggle with making previews it is definitely practice, but it will get easier with time. Your preview looks great. One thing I would recommend is to work with shadows, for example, the washi tapes have to big shadow.

Thank you! smiley
You are right, the shadows are a bit off. Practice will fix it, like you said! Thanks for the tip!

Kayl! Your kit is amazing. The closest I've been to sweden is Ikea in New Jersey smiley lol.... But that would be a great use of your beautiful kit!!!

Kayl, your kit is so pretty! I especially love the papers and the colors!

Beautiful kit Kayl

Whoops! Sorry ladies, I haven't had any notifications in days so I wasnt aware of all the love. smiley Thank you for all of it! Glad you enjoy it!

Kayl, great kit! Love the pure colors. Thanks for sharing.

I love this kit! Where can I download this from? My kitchen and dining room have this beautiful and happy colors.
