I'm Jozefien, a surface pattern designer from Belgium with a passion for nature and botanicals. Here on this blog, I like to share an array of tips, tricks, resources, and products with you!  So subscribe if you want to follow more of my content!

hello!

Did you remember I was planning to do a monthly challenge?   Well because it’s February already, it’s time to let you know what the end result is for my January challenge.   

Before I started my challenge I planned out all my themes for every month.  For January I chose the Valentine theme, I imagine you can guess why!  In the list below you can see all the themes.  

While I’m writing this, a cool idea pops up!  What if you join me in the challenge?  With joining me, I don’t mean that you also have to make 3 patterns.  It could be all kinds of things with the theme, for example making a photograph, a drawing, an art piece. Or maybe even sewing an outfit with fabric in the theme, the ideas are endless! 

And when you join me, it would be so much fun when you e-mail me your creations at info@elliladesigns.com so I can share all our results here on the blog!

 

My January challenge

Well, now it’s time to share my result with you!  I didn’t expect it to be an easy theme, but never thought it would be as hard as it was.  When I was searching for inspiration, I  noticed that Valentine has some kind of kitch around it!  And that isn’t the style I wanted for my patterns.  So it took a while before I found the direction to go on. And before I knew, the month was almost over, without any pattern.  So the best way was just to start making a hero-pattern, and see what it would become!

I don’t know if this hero-pattern has kitch, but I don’t mind anymore. I am happy I finally was able to make a Valentine pattern with 2 secondary patterns.  For these patterns I used colors from the first pattern, with one of them also being a Valentine pattern!

And you know what, I have made a desktop wallpaper with one of the designs, completely free for you to use!  When you haven’t already, just sign up for my newsletter and you can download this wallpaper!  Enjoy!
