What beautiful colours we have to create with. OK bring on the background suggestions...:tup:

[bludlfn003]

the second pink as a main color with the light pink or green in polka dots.
a green on green with an embossed look.

[debilou]

I'd like to see the middle green with a pale white lily lightly stamped in it...

And, a use the lighter green color to use with the vellum to make like home make rice paper...

And, gosh, those ferns have to be in there some how...

[janetklm]

Wow! Thanks for voting on this one ladies!

A cracked bg. in the lightest green.
Darkest pink as the main color with a small vine border in the lightest pink.
The dark ferns stamped on the middle green.

[sammdc]

what about a peeled or cracked paint look using one of the green colours and then grunge up one of the pink colours or even use a combination of colours to make a water paint look with them

[sammdc]

or a white dirty colour with green edges

[debilou]

Could the Ferns be an OVERLAY? I don't think I've ever seen that... and they are just so soft...

[jemtred]

I also go for the green as a paper with darker green ferns embossed (or something like) in it.
Or the fern overlay - what a genius idea Debilou!
How about a really pale (nude?) pink with a very faint green wash to it. Or in some creases in the paper?

[letsplaytennis]

How about the darkest pink wrinkled like you smashed into a ball and then flattened it back out.

[Erica]

Here are the backgrounds for July:

* pink with polka dots
* cracked paint with grunged up pink colours to make a water paint look
* green with darker green ferns
* darker pink wrinkled

So what elements do you want?

Post here now :D

A string of pink and/or white pearls
A scalloped frame

[webfrau]

Well apart from all THAT colour Erica they're very pretty. I love the ferns. :)

[Erica]

[webfrau]

:rofl: Julia I know in your heart PINK is really your favourite colour :D
:p You found me out! :no:

[jemtred]

YEAH for the papers - especially those gorgeous green ferns!
I would really love to see a Lily! Maybe in pink (dare I say it) a bit like the actual lily in the photo.
I would also love to see more foliage - maybe as an overlay or to go with the flower

[janetklm]

Wow!!!!!!!! love the bg's.
How about some calla lillies (seperate or a bundle) and an organza ribbon in one of the greens and some ferns would be nice too..

[happybeingamom]

The BG are gorgeous!!

We need pink calla lilies just like in the pictures. I would like them with the stems and then a separate ribbon with a bow if we want to make a bouquet with them.

An open journal spiral notebook for journaling.

[happybeingamom]

I see we have the same ideas :lol:

[bludlfn003]

those papers are gorgeous.

[debilou]

Beautiful papers, Erica..

I agree, we need some Calla Lilies, but not just one.. .maybe like a grouping tied with a ribbon tie...

And, a Fern to go with them...

and, an Overlay... I just love your overlays.

[letsplaytennis]

How about a cracked paint frame

[debilou]

How about a photo mask

with flower word art....

[Erica]

WOW some great ideas here, thanks :hug:

[debilou]

I can't wait to see what you create!

[domino44]

[TalyQ]

That notebook is really great and those flowers are perfect.

[webfrau]

Lovely even with you know what. The fern leaves are fabulous.

[PQ FRAN]

I LOVE everything so far.

How about a metal horizontal scrolly thingy.

[janetklm]

A scalloped mat or frame?

[jemtred]

A light weight edgy thingy - in metal or lacy stuff

[jemtred]

A frame in silver or white - edgy/ferny/scrolly/light metal work?

[sueya]

Beautiful lilies. Would like to see some pink lace or organza ribbon.
Also like the idea of including some silver - perhaps a silver brooch or silver chain with pink beads would look good.

[debilou]

Oh, so pretty Erica!!!

Still hoping for the fern overlay...

A frame..oval, metal... scrolly..


Maybe some word art

[happybeingamom]

It is gorgeous Erica,

Now we need some borders and frames

[sammdc]

I'm so glad you came to look at the What Now challenge and your flower extractions are very pretty Michele, are they from your own garden? Perhaps we could look at using some of the colours for next months what now, I do appreciate your offer to use these in this kit but at DSP the designers don't create kits with extracted items, only digitalised elements, thank you anyway. :hug:

I know I thought that you had a way to do it I know that I've seen tutorials that teach you how to digitize extracted elements course I end up screwing it up to advanced for me LOL.No their not from my garden they are from my grandmothers scrapbook that was given to my mom after her death a lot of my kits that I've done I've used my paper scrapbooking stuff can't figure out all that digital stuff surprised I can do half the things I can do in digital scrapbooking LOL.

[Jill W]

What a beautiful kit Erica!!
My suggestions: Hushed Harmony, Sweet Serenity, Gracious Gardens, My Garden Oasis

[moog25]

Darn! I totally missed this one. I usually check the forums every monday to see what's happening, but I guess I checked too early last week and this week is too late. The kit is absolutely gorgeous!

[moog25]

The only thing that comes to mind is a line from an old movie, too long for a title most likely.
"The calla lilies are in bloom again"

[Erica]

OK - deadline for names is midnight Tuesday July 14 :D

[Raphne]

*sigh* does life ever slow down?????

The kit is just lovely. . .

how about "Garden's Grace"

[Erica]

Sometimes it feels like it's faster than a speeding bullet :yikes: :D
