Oooh love this one, have been wanting to do a nature kit, so this would be perfect! Lets go with this one...now paper suggestions...

[webfrau]

Yummy colours. How about a paper like Bark or with bit of "lichen" splattered on it in one of the lighter colours.

[Muma]

How about a handmade looking paper. With the light and dark green, if you want to include white that might look even better.
Just found a handmade paper in the greens as an example

[webfrau]

Nice paper Sue - very good idea.

[bludlfn003]

what about a recycled looking paper in the color in the middle, can't really tell if it's grey or a really desaturated brown, and that the brown. the lighter of the two colors as the main color and the dark brown being used as specks throughout. (when i was a child in school, we made paper, it was cool looking paper.)

[domino44]

How about an overlay leafy and green or green grungy edges?????

[stitchmich]

I like all those ideas. I'm picturing a paper that reminds me of rolling hills... like curves creating a hillside, maybe two or three layer behind one another and getting lighter in shades. (or does that sound too crazy) Or some sort of gradient paper with the green shades.

A Taupe recycled/hand made paper.

[stitchmich]

Oh yeah! Love that paper!

[domino44]

Oh that looks so real.....awesome!!!

[handkl]

What about a dark green background with a painted looking leafy vine in two of the corners or up the left side of the page.

[stitchmich]

I was just noticing that I don't have many papers that are white. Could we do a white or very light paper maybe grunged up with the lightest green.

[moog25]

I'm picturing the medium green with a pattern of Queen Anne's Lace, either overall or growing up out of the corner, with a sanded edge.

[webfrau]

Cool paper Robyn.

[sueya]

White paper with green marbling or pale green leaf splatter prints

[renee s]

Been quiet in here the past couple days.

[Robyn Gough]

Sorry ladies.. I was sure I would have more time this week and then work sprung all these extra jobs on me and I had to work overtime. DOH! However, I am on annual leave this week so can get stuck into this kit again!!! :-) I plan on doing some more backgrounds today, so keep those suggestions coming. ;-)

[just-pjz]

Love the colors and the paper already made!!

How about a somewhat neutral paper, with (tonal) leaf/twig "imprints"..not really embossed though. Bits of leaf veins and such?

[Robyn Gough]

White paper with green marbling or pale green leaf splatter prints

Hand Made White paper with green marbling and embedded leaves...

[stitchmich]

Wow! that second paper is gorgeous! We need a dark green paper now.

[handkl]

Wow! that second paper is gorgeous! We need a dark green paper now.

I'll second that dark green paper...something fairly simple with little or no pattern and the texture should be smoother than the first two.

[Robyn Gough]

Loving those papers Robyn!

[moog25]

Ooh! Thank you for the queen Anne's Lace. The dark green looks awesome!

[Robyn Gough]

Ooh! Thank you for the queen Anne's Lace. The dark green looks awesome!

I thought we needed a lighter green so decided to do a small Queen Anne's Lace pattern on it.

We can still have suggestions for the add on papers, and now Elements!!!

[sueya]

Element ideas :-
Doodled leaves and flowers
Lace threaded with ribbon
Faded or stained paper frames

[stitchmich]

Element ideas :-
Doodled leaves and flowers
Lace threaded with ribbon
Faded or stained paper frames

I second all those! The papers are all beautiful!

[moog25]

I've got a few ideas:
Graphic style brushed frames in white and dark brown
Tatted lace or fine white net for layering
A vellum mat with "laser-cut" leaves (like the ones on the dark green paper) around the edges
An edge overlay of those same leaves
A dainty wildflower bouquet tied with a pale green satin ribbon

[Heidi]

Love those green papers, Robyn!!! Can't wait to see the elements to go with them!!

[stitchmich]

a "paper" version of the leaf on the white paper
a folded or curled corner, stapled down
a vine entertwined with a ribbon or
a ribbon with folds, stitched down

[Robyn Gough]

Oooh some fabulous ideas! I had better get started!

[Robyn Gough]

Here we go, a brown and white graphic style frame.

[Robyn Gough]

An edge overlay of those same leaves

[MOUSSINE]

ouaouhhh Robyn, it's so BEAUTIFUL !!!!!!!

[Fade2Pink]

I haven't played before, but wanted to pop in and say this is GORGEOUS, those papers are exquisite.

Suggestion: 3 blowing leaves or a stick pin or clip with some flower blossoms on the end.

[domino44]

Oh Robyn this is so gorgeous.......I love it!!!

[domino44]

what about something for journaling, like a mulberry type paper with frayed edges and faint lines

[renee s]

Oooh- love the border! I agree that some wild flowers would look beautiful in here.

[handkl]

How about a dark green scroll with a rough edge in the light grey?
And a circle mat with same rough edge for journaling perhaps with a piece of string to hang or some random staples to attach it?
Lastly, I would like to see some sort of splater or spray in a colour of your choice.

[Robyn Gough]

Sorry ladies, I have been unwell again. Will get some more elements done as soon as I am able.

[domino44]

You don't worry...the main thing is for you to feel better...we are not going anywhere!!

[MOUSSINE]

I hope you are well now Robyn !!! and thank you for all the beautiful things you share with us :o))

[stitchmich]

sorry you are feeling bad, Robyn. But like Teri said, we're not going anywhere. It doesn't matter how long it takes. You're worth the wait! I hope your feeling better soon though. Take care of yourself.

[renee s]

So sorry to hear your unwell, Robyn. Is it the same health issues?

[handkl]

Hope you feel better soon Robyn.

[bludlfn003]

i know that we're still on the main kit, but for the posting bonus, I had an idea for a paper....a brown paper with paisley in all the greens covering the majority of the paper.

And I also hope you are feeling better soon.

[Robyn Gough]

Thanks so much for your patience everyone! I have had a major auto immune flare which slowed me up a bit. I am still having it but I think I am on the mend again now. Ugh I hate it when these challenges get held up, but I really needed the rest to recouperate.

A bouquet wrapped in green ribbon.

Thank you so much ladies for your wonderful support! It reminds me why I love DSP so much! :hug: Renee, yes, it is my usual health issues. I am on a new medication again now, so fingers crossed this one is the magic one for me! LOL

[MOUSSINE]

I'm so happy Robyn you feel better :o)))) my very best friend has too an auto-immune disease and it's very hard for her... your bouquet is wonderful !!!!!! I love it !!!!!!!

[Robyn Gough]

I'm so happy Robyn you feel better :o)))) my very best friend has too an auto-immune disease and it's very hard for her... your bouquet is wonderful !!!!!! I love it !!!!!!!

Thanks! It isn't fun. I am still trying to get a diagnosis pinned down but we know it is auto-immune and inflamatory. I think my rheumatologist has narrowed it down to either Rheumatoid Arthritus or Lupus. At least the treatment is the same so he is experimenting with what works at the moment. I get very frustrated with the whole thing, but anyway!

Thanks for your lovely comments on the bouquet! ;-)

[jemtred]

Sorry to hear you've been unwell Robyn and glad you are well enough to make such a fabtastic kit!

I can't believe Imissed this starting out - i saw Be-Muse-Me 6 and just thought it was the one we did in June! What a donut!! (Sorry donut if you're playing...)

Anyway I just love green especially in kits. How about something a bit rugged - some rough wood or bark to set off those beautiful soft flowers.

[jemtred]

Or a nice journalling mat from another hand-made paper?

[just-pjz]

Robyn, this is beautiful!! Love the textures and details. So many great suggestions already.

I hope your new med is working and your flare passes quickly. They, nor the disease, are fun to deal with. I hope you and your doctor find the right combo!

[domino44]

Oh the kit is beautiful! But most of all I am glad you are felling better. My friend has Lupus and I know how bad it can be some days. Hang in there kiddo.

[stitchmich]

I am noticing tha the white part of the frame is sort of a bracket, so maybe a chipboard or worn wooden bracket, a larger one.

[moog25]

You've used several of my suggestions already, I think I'll sit back and let others make suggestions. It is good to know you're feeling better.

[Robyn Gough]

Thanks again everyone!

[bludlfn003]

this Be-Muse-Me has been a challenging one for me to come up with ideas for this time. What about some type of wordart. Maybe a nature-y one.

[romey]

Robyn, this is stunning. Would you ever consider adding a dragonfly, butterfly or perhaps a bee.

[stitchmich]

Robyn, this is stunning. Would you ever consider adding a dragonfly, butterfly or perhaps a bee.

Oh! great idea! I'd love a dragonfly.

[renee s]

Ooooh, love the dragonfly idea- maybe with sparkly or shiny wings- or perhaps jeweled.

[Robyn Gough]

Ooi! Created while my 4yr old is throwing a major tantrum.. :rolleyes:

http://digiscrapart.com/bemuseme/BeMuseMe6-Element5.jpg

[bludlfn003]

still thinking it needs a nature wordart here.

[stitchmich]

love the dragonfly! How about a row of studs or gems, the length of the page.

[TalyQ]

I just discovered this. It's a wonderful nature kit. How about some natural fibers, like a string, raffia bow of similar?

[jemtred]

I thought I would have missed this having been offline for so long. Its looking lovely so far. How about some rope or rough string for a bit of contrast.

[renee s]

How about simple square frame, similar to the first one, but without the swirls at the corners. Or, perhaps made out of the fibers that others have suggested.

[moog25]

Darn! I missed a chance to suggest a name while I was away this week. I love the way it turned out!

[bebimora]

I so love this kit so I just could not help my self :yippee:

I know the challenge has not started but here is mine:

Beautiful kit Robyn
:hug:

[renee s]

Well I've been working on this LO since last month and finally got it done. Will be posting another LO that showcases the kit more when the be-muse-me 6 challenge starts, but was working on this LO anyway, and the Nature's Touch elements seemed to really fit the pages.

[renee s]

Well, I said I would get around to using Nature's touch in another LO, and the Det contest was what finally got me to find the perfect photo to go with it. I loved making the two pager about my boating adventure, but I think this page showcases the kit more. Hope you like it.
