Aco File - UPDATED
I know it's already a large palette but is there any chance we could add a set of dark/light golden yellows or a deep red?
For the yellow, something like #dca44e?
And for the red, maybe something like #822e18 or perhaps a little darker?
If the palette is already too large or the idea isn't shared among others, would it be okay to incorporate those two colors in small ways into my portions?
Kayl, I'll keep those two in mind for additional dimension when I'm painting elements. I see those as a lighter tone of the gold and darker tone of the copper on the first chip, which is reasonable to add for more metal and wood tones. The palette is already largish, but we've had far larger in the past, so I'm not stressing about it. We should be able to cover almost any natural metal as well as most woods for this kit, now!
thanks for the color swatch kayl!
No problem!
When I first saw "The Guys" theme in the ideas thread, I was happy about a masculine train and something I could use for my guy but somehow when I started designing and just roughing ideas in photoshop I ended up going on a few different avenues that are more appropriate for The Little Guys! Though, I see a lot of people complain around the web that scrapping is only easy for little girls so I know there is a need/want for little boy themed kits!
I know it's still super early but I'm excited to see what you guys create!
Also, I love having blogtrain working threads so far in advance!
Updating palette now!
ACO has been updated!
as a mom of a little boy/auntie to several nephews I am SUPER excited to see what you ladies come up with, you always have amazing ideas!!
Here are two of my previews! I am literally brand new to making all-in-one previews so forgive me if they're a little crazy!
They look good, Kayl! I know I'll be using your part with my little guys! They love cars!
Wonderful job Kayl!
Awesome, Kayl!
Very cool, Kayl. And I can't believe that you even made two kits - thumb up
Thank you Alli, Lisel, and Claudia!
Erin, I'm happy that some of my pieces will be useful for your boys!
Here's another!
*The tape measure and the measurement journal card are included twice, one representing the metric system and the other, imperial.
Kayl, your kit parts are really cool! You always seem to hit the target regarding the theme. Awesome/
Thanks, Sunny
How wonderful kits you have made kayl!! Simply outstanding!!
Yes, Kayl, fabulous!
Kayl, your kits are wonderful!!
Thanks ladies!
Cute kits, Kayl!
Great job Kayl! I love the "Danger is my middle name" My youngest boy is exactly that! He is 17 months old but has been enjoying leaping off couches & off window sills for awhile now [think Indian Jones and the Leap of Faith]. *sigh* He thinks it great fun. Sure isn't for his momma!
Thanks!
I hear some boys are like that! And to think, he's only 17 months!
Love the theme!!
Kayl, beautiful job, honey!
I am a newbie...made a couple of PL cards...not sure I love them or what else I might do.
