Elements
(always feel free to diverge, interpret broadly or skip prompts as your creative process demands)
I love a kit with a lot of variety in the elements. I think an important thing to consider when making elements is that a wide variety of textures are included.
Nov 15 - Word art processing - use the word art we created a few days ago and add texture. My preferred way to do that is with styles.
Nov 16 - Illustration processing - use the illustrations we created a few days ago and add texture. My preferred way to do that is with styles. You can always just give it a simple border and call it a sticker.
Nov 17 - 3 flowers, make sure there is some variety so they can be used together and not look too matchy matchy
Nov 18 - catch up day
Nov 19 - 4 basic shapes (stars, hearts, arrows, etc) but add interesting texture (again, Photoshop styles will be a big help!)
Nov 20 - 3 buttons/brads/flairs
Nov 21 - 2 sequins or scatters
Share below your progress, finished designs and of course any questions!
Marisa, I am trying to figure out my flowers for Nov 17.
Silk is Ho hum to me, and I’ve already got 2 of those super thick paper mache ones. What I really want is some carved ivory (or carved plastic, LOL) such as the ones you have in your Happiness Is Homemade Elements Kit.

I really like the white one with the black stamens, but I like all of these in the kit. Did you make them? And is there a carved ivory style? Are some of these made from 3 flowers, one on top of another? I’d really like to learn how to make these!
Here's what I have. I only love the yellow flower - the rest of the flowers I'm not too sure about.
The scatter is something I'm working on and it won't be ready until the very end.
@Suzy: I made them using an AI generator!
Ok, that's good then. Thanks! I am going to redo mine because I hate them, LOL! The yellow one I like, but it's a template from here, so it's not really original.
What's an AI generator? Sounds like a new tool!
Can you share the prompt, Marisa?
Hi Suzy! So beautiful!
Got a bit homesick for FNQ making these
Thanks, Bina! And your word art is stellar…gives me a real feel for the place! 😁
Thanks for this challenge!!
Hi Robin, I think it is the new tool in adobe illustrator, where you put a prompt in and it produces an image for you.
thanks @Bina Greene for your sharing ))))
I thought I was very far behind but I just checked and I'm up to the Nov 20 prompts. So not as behind as I thought, except I didn't get a chance to make a preview of my papers yet.
@Bina ... it's your birthday ???? if yes "Happy Birthday to YOUUUUU"
Finished the elements
Not thrilled with all of them (example: I don't like how the glitter on the heart speech bubble came out) but they're good enough.
The texture on the smaller elements are not showing up well in the preview.
I should start uploading to the commons...
Hi Bina,
