Multiplicity #6, starts today, May 21,

[Christine]

MULTIPLICITY is a challenge we will be running a few times a year - and it works similar to the "design with me" or pass the pixel challenges!!!! This time there will be FOUR DESIGNERS designing kits that coordinate!!!!
THAT means FOUR finished kits in the same color scheme, in the varying styles of the different designers! AND, at the end of the challenge, we'll have random draws to give away some of the kits FREE to those who participated! But you have to play along to have a chance! But don't worry if you don't win, ALL THE KITS WILL BE IN THE STORE AFTER WARDS!!!!

Here is the MULTIPLICITY GALLERY! (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=7359) So you can watch the designs grow!!!!

So what do YOU need to do??? GREAT QUESTION!!!!
Look at the color scheme below and think of a theme and some backgrounds that you know would be great for it - and make your suggestions!
The participating designers will be your "challengees" and we are all going to create using your suggestions and the same color scheme. Who knows what we'll pick? We might even all pick the same thing - and make it different ways - which will be fun to watch.

Who's your DESIGN TEAM????
Nicole, Elizabeth, Kim and Christine (that's me!)

Are you ready??? Subscribe to this thread or check often for updates! Here is the color scheme for this round of MULTIPLICITY. Let's see your suggestions for backgrounds first, and theme ideas if anything strikes you - and after we get a couple of backgrounds done we will take element suggestions too!

[ReneT]

I love these colors!!! They look very bohemian to me.

[Nicole Young]

Start making lots of suggestions guys!!!! Backgrounds or themes.....can't wait to hear what you guys think!!!

[SilverHealer]

*Spazzes* Okay, I REALLY love these colours (but don't I always?). Let's see. Here's some suggestions from me!

Papers:
- Something that looks like hand-made paper
- Something with the dark purple and the yellow, maybe blotches or a watercolour look?
- I'm really drawn to that yellow. Something with subtle "streaks" of sunlight?

I'll be back to give more suggestions!

[bindababe]

I was thinking it looked very bohemian like too but sort of like indian belly dancing style. Maybe some textured paper.

[Christine]

hi bindababe, looks like you are new here..........WELCOME! :D

[jennyharris28]

I am thinking sunset! I love the colors and they remind me of sunset on desert with all the tans and purples - thinking Arizona. Sandy paper, or maybe a leaf print, cactus with pink flowers, lizard... rocks.... not sure it would sell though.

and on another note, overlay with sunset and colors would be awesome! i am so lazy and love to use overlays that enhance photos or have glows and such...

[Caro]

I am thinking water painting type bgs or in contrast oil painting style ones with think daubs of paint

[ReneT]

Oh I like Jenny's desert sunset idea! What about a paper that looks like those sand sculptures.

http://www.instructables.com/image/F1YDAG1FPQLEQA0/Sand-bottles.jpg

[stitchmich]

beautiful colors!
papers... hmmm...
one color in tone on tone stripes and one color in tone on tone dots. (yeah, not very creative, right?)
maybe a watercolory paper

[stitchmich]

Oh I like Jenny's desert sunset idea! What about a paper that looks like those sand sculptures.

http://www.instructables.com/image/F1YDAG1FPQLEQA0/Sand-bottles.jpg

that's cool!

[kim]

Holy Cow... Lots of great suggestions already!

[minnmom79]

A diamond pattern with any of the colors faded and patchy
a big bold floral pattern or something very geometric in pattern

[mskowbo]

This is definitely a Sonora Sunset theme. It would be great for those wilderness experiences we go through-either physically or mentally. Coming out of that dark into that warm golden glow. I think I see a cactus flower, too. The oasis is near....

[mrshuberism]

I am thinking about the last 2 colors in a marble or granite type/texture paper. Maybe the lighters color as the "primary" color of the stone and the darker color as the "veins" in the stone. not this busy but this is the direction I am going

[estarks]

These color samples make me think of an italian winery or orchard as the sun is setting. Sort of a golden glow on the ripening fruits.

[mrshuberism]

okay so I forgot to mention a theme, well since I am stuck on granite/stone textures & my hubby makes kitchens for a living I am gonna say a home improvement theme, I have tons of pictures of my parents and now my and hubby, redoing floors, painting walls.....and construction dust every where, along with the oh so fun and messy paint wars when my sister and I were allowed to paint our own rooms as teens.....oh I so hope one of you does a home improvement kit lol

OHHHHHH that sounds divine!

[Alla]

The first thing that I thought of when I saw these colors was a very down to earth, cozy coffee shop with a huge stone fireplace.

[thecharmed01]

I don't know why but I'm thinking too of an older style vineyard with grapes and the sun setting over the vines...
The colours would lend perfectly to borders with grape leaves/ivy or similar and some mottled coloured papers.. like a sponged paint on an adobe textured building.....

[Nicole Young]

Wow guys great suggestions so far! Loving the bohemian/ indian coffeehouse style themes! I think I may venture in that direction!!! Would love some background ideas and I will post a completed background in the morning :)

[TracyMHunt]

For some reason my first impression was an early evening thunderstorm.

Lightning, moon, stars, hot summer evenings, catching lightning bugs in jars, backyard camp outs,

Yes, definitely watercolor/mottled designs, or like an old venetian plaster wall. I love the cantalope, grape and golden yellow colors. Lots of swirls and a touch of sparkle. Think of just enough sparkle like the dew ices a grape. Here's some inspiration for you:

[kristievcat]

I love the Bohemian theme, but I also really dig the vinyard idea.

I love the bottom photo of the marble - it could be used for any theme.

For the Bohemian, I was thinking a shantung textured paper and also a paisley and baroque. Maybe the designs in the shirt and the bag:
http://www.uneek-geek.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/bohemia_blog1.jpg

And for that yellow - how about a really worn, soft, sueded leather

[kim]

OMG!! You guys have the best ideas!!! I have a few things cooked up already!

[Christine]

I am loving how you all keep giving us pictures to show what you mean. You guys are awesome!

OHHH I think I am in love with everything you just posted!!! I NEED THOSE OUTFITS AND ACCESSORIES!!!! Ok...wait...back to designing...YES! This is totally an awesome direction!!!

[SilverHealer]

This is definitely a Sonora Sunset theme. It would be great for those wilderness experiences we go through-either physically or mentally. Coming out of that dark into that warm golden glow.

Oh, I LOVE this!! I also love the Bohemian idea!

[Icegoaliemom29]

I love these colors. I think they would make for a wonderful heratige page. These colors remind me of my grandma's house....I can just smell it now. I think a few solid backgrounds and at least one floral background. I think a linen would also be nice.

I quite like SilverHealers suggestion of water colors.

I can't wait to see how these turn out.

[thecharmed01]

Watercolours makes me think of Lauren's latest kit though......

I'd like to see something different!! I like the linen idea though!

[hoozieg]

I am thinking sunset! I love the colors and they remind me of sunset on desert with all the tans and purples - thinking Arizona. Sandy paper, or maybe a leaf print, cactus with pink flowers, lizard... rocks.... not sure it would sell though.

Sounds like you've decided to go the more Bohemian route, but just to put my two cents in....We don't have too many desert, southwest themed kits. I love the idea of cactus flowers, red rocks and geckos....But

The italian countryside sounds cool also!

You might get some ideas for patterns from this:

http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d142/hoozieg/bokja-1.jpg

[Elisabeth]

I like the southwest sunset idea! I'm in Texas hill country!

Thanks for getting us all started already!! I'm excited!

I agree hooz! would love desert or Italian countryside themes

[Elisabeth]

I have a bg done!

http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/6070/screenshot110y.jpg

[Elisabeth]

And bg two for me - some thick roughed up (possibly handmade!) paper, like someone's been dragging it around the desert, lol!

http://img185.imageshack.us/img185/4113/screenshot111w.jpg

[Tara]

Marking my spot...will look tomorrow after I get some rest!

[TalyQ]

Those colors are just wonderful. Love all those suggested themes. But I think the bohemian theme is most appealing to me.

Suggestions for backgrounds:
~ I'd love to see a purple one, really rich with some swirls
~ the yellow one could be contrasting gentle, with fabric texture
~ the green one could have some stitched flowers

[MaryElizabeth]

These look so Mediterranean, warm, rich, classics.

[Shana34]

I absolutely LOVE the bohemian idea, I know we're not into elements yet, but with that whole theme I would love to see elements with glass beads like the earrings and bracelet in the example image. Maybe a brad with dangling beads?

As far as backgrounds, I'm thinking a rich purple background with a print in gold similar to fabrics you would find in India. Something like this below maybe?
http://www.exoticindiaart.com/books/fabric_art_heritage_of_india_idf972.jpg
Or maybe a gold background that looks like quilted silk. (I don't know if that's how to describe it so here's another picture:)
http://www.li-exports.com/prodimg/fabric/li-455.jpg

[Wanda]

Oh, I love watching these kits develop. My first thought with the color swatch was sunshine & berries which is pretty close to the Tuscan theme already mentioned.

I'd love to see a subtle paisley patterned paper.

[teetopper]

Great papers Z!!! I like the bohemian theme too, but would love to see the desert/sunset also. And the early spring storm fits right in with that.... just my thoughts :)

[estarks]

I have a bg done!

http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/6070/screenshot110y.jpg

Love this - beautiful!

[jennilynn10]

Just my 2 cents - Lauren does have at 3 three desert themed kits (but not with these colors). I love the Italian villa idea, but I can't think of what I'd scrap with it. I love the colors and I'm really pulling for bohemian chic style that could be used with summer photos.

Love your backgrounds Elizabeth.

[jennilynn10]

Here's a cool idea - Summer Boho-Chic theme! Here's a pretty skirt I found that would make a pretty paper idea.

[estarks]

I live in Arizona, so for those using that theme, you might consider using some of the "arched" ridges as frames - like the Natural Bridge, and a sandstone texture similar to the one shown below. A tuscan theme could use some of those beautiful architectural elements like balconies, arches, etc. I did an image search on google and there are some really neat venetian plaster designs that could be used for inspiration.

Got my first background done!!! Loved the boho-chic coffeehouse style idea and did some yellow bohemian style fabric!!!

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/7359/preview_jpegney.jpg

[TracyMHunt]

And bg two for me - some thick roughed up (possibly handmade!) paper, like someone's been dragging it around the desert, lol!

I like those, Z!



http://www.li-exports.com/prodimg/fabric/li-455.jpg

I love the texture of this one Shana suggested. What if it was a net or overlay.

OOOH pretty Nicole!

[wuvie]

I love the idea of faded grid type overlays
like old charcole smudged and smeared

[ReneT]

I'm loving these backgrounds!!!

[Pie]

I would love to be sitting on a patio with a cup of coffee in early am or pm watching the sky open or close to the next day. A coffee shop on the edge of the dessert perhaps

[aj_trouble]

Nicole I am terrible at backgrounds, but I LOVE that paper you have created, but I am just completely stumped now on what to suggest!!!

I'd love to see a peacocks feather though later on!!

[Christine]

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/7359/73_K_Multiplicity6a.jpg

Here's one from me! :D

[kristievcat]

http://www.li-exports.com/prodimg/fabric/li-455.jpg

This is exactly what I was thinking when I said a shantung texture! (Also the pattern in the cape used with my wedding gown!:love3:)

[ReneT]

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/7359/73_K_Multiplicity6a.jpg

[Christine]

Shana I am working on a yellow BG similar to your gathered diamond one :)

[Chellie]

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/freebies/Goodies/Images/multiplicity%206%20swatches.jpg


Alright the papers/backgrounds:
The 2 darkest pink/magenta colors: reptilian style, maybe crocodile/alligator. OH! How about snake? Also, how about 1 striped paper of the color scheme?

[rbthl]

Wow - great ideas. My first thought was Arizona also, sand textures, streak textures like the Sedona area, cactus and petroglyphs (maybe as an overlay), petrified wood. Also love the granite idea - perfect colors for that.

[Dani B]

A paisly pattern in these colors would be really nice, with a soft texture in it. I used to have a scarf in paisly with these same colors from India.

[marmain]

I see these colors and think of silk saris...The deeper tones edged in gold with gold embelishment with large jewels or golden danglys elements. Maybe a background that mimics a henna tattoo with the first and fourth color.

[Dani B]

This is a such a pretty paisley, I love the color and design, especially that border.
http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/6823/Paisley-3.jpg

[Dani B]

One more ---

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/6823/Paisley-4.jpg

[Lisa Campbell]

I think some wine related elements would look awesome.

[mrshuberism]

ok so we are still on backgrounds right? if so I am gonna say I am still holding my breath for a granite/marble type paper lol, but also want to say I like the paisley idea IF it can be done either with large paisley patterns or in shades of the same color so as not to be to busy of a background, does that make any sense lol.... I like the look of busy backgrounds but never seem to use them...on the wine/sunset type thoughts I do use landscape type looking backgrounds a lot, one that look like a painting (oil or other medium) of a distant hill or sunset or storm in this case all sound like things I would use

[addielee]

My first thought when I saw the colours was of some fabulous asian silk! I love the backgrounds that have been created so far. :-)

[Tara]

I LOVE these colors!!! You should make a kit with them. HA HA HA HA! I'm also loving the bohemian hippie vibe!

I think we need a background in the dusty rose color -- maybe crushed velvet?

When we get there, we are going to need lots of beads and chains...in gold.

[just-pjz]

Oh, how I LOOOOVVVVE Multiplicity!! Awesome colors again!
I have to admit, when I first spied the colors I thought of autumn, but I love the ideas and themes that have been suggested! All the papers so far are just gorgeous!!

Z---love the "dragged through the desert" paper paired with the sunset looking one!
what about a blown sand one and/or a wind-worn rock textured one?
Kim---beautiful! I read that you liked the vineyard them suggestion. If you're going in that direction, a deep purple one would be pretty. Or even the lighter with soft, barely there grapevines throughout or up the side.
Christine..love the design in yours. Maybe another tone on tone, perhaps in the greenish color with teeny dots?
Nicole..love the "feel" of your paper! I don't think I really have a grasp on boho-chic, so I really don't know what to suggest, but I'd love to see something in the greenish color?

[ReneT]

Here's one from me !! :)

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/forum/../gallery/data/7359/kl_mult6_BG1.jpg

I love this too!!!

[ReneT]

I agree with Tara on the beads and chains for the boho look.

[SilverHealer]

I'm with Tara and Rene... when you all get to the elements, definitely lots of gold and beads!!!

For papers, how about an Indian mehndi pattern, kinda like this?
http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f37/winim/zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.jpg

Or these:
http://www.madrasi.info/tissue-silk.jpg
http://www.freewebs.com/chaoscat/ebay%20stuff%20022.jpg

One of those patterns would make a really cool overlay, too!

[Christine]

Here's the gold paper.

[Nicole Young]

Added another paper:

[stitchmich]

Holy Mackeral! The papers so far are fantastic!!! :tup:

[Shana34]

Wow these papers are absolutely gorgeous! I third (or fourth or fifth) the idea of lots of gold and beads when the element time comes. :) I'm trying to think of more ideas. I need to go put my thinking cap on and I'll be back! :D

[stephanie3]

I like the crushed velvet BG idea - I also love the bead idea - I am on my husbands computer, when I get to mine, I want to send a pic of my favorite bracelet with very cool hand made blown glass beads with these same colors swirled inside.

[shawsi]

These are the colors of my herb garden in the spring, with the morning sun. So soft and wispy. I see tiny little flowers, light and airy greenery. A picket fence, watering can, a pair of rubber gardening shoes. Humming bird

[kristievcat]

For the Boho - how about a lace BG in the mauve?

For the vineyard - a paper in the green and tan w/ embossed grape leaves?

[Tara]

Hey Nicole - - how about a paper in the middle color (the tan one)?

[Chellie]

ok so we are still on backgrounds right? if so I am gonna say I am still holding my breath for a granite/marble type paper lol, but also want to say I like the paisley idea IF it can be done either with large paisley patterns or in shades of the same color so as not to be to busy of a background, does that make any sense lol....

I'm with you on the granite/marble look. Really liking that. Great job so far designers, liking how it's all coming together.

[Shana34]

I love Tara's ideas about the crushed velvet and the tan paper. Maybe a pattern kind of like this in the tan?

[jennilynn10]

Love the beaded bracelet for the Bohol chic - I like the golf also. I think any kind of bangles - gold, silver, beads would make interesting elements. Also maybe different colored crystals.

Love the B/G papers you all have so far :tup:

edit: that should say - I like "Boho" chic, and I like "gold" also. :lol: darn my typing!

[Christine]

Wow! What a super bunch of suggestions! :tup: I finished up the BGs since tomorrow is Sunday. So you guys can see what I have so far, make suggestions and then I will start working on elements on Monday. :D I am thinking of taking this in a boho direction, but that is not set in stone. What do you guys think?
http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/7359/73_K_Multiplicity6c.jpg

[SilverHealer]

Christine, I LOVE the papers! Definitely boho!!

[Elisabeth]

Here is my 3rd bg in sandy stone with some muted color shadows on it.

I'm ready for element suggestions now after three bgs - and then if it turns out I need a fourth bg I will add it in later. I like to give more element choices if I can. So..... some scattered beads? What else? Do we want to add a realistic cactus and take it in that direction or should I go swirly and somewhat graphicky like some of my more recent kits - say, this one (http://store.digitalscrapbookplace.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2_18&products_id=12453)? I can go either direction and I'll let you all weigh in before I start! Although it's already been suggested to add gold and I would like to do that, along with the overlay suggestion, so my overlay will include gold! Just need to know if you want desert flowers or swirls with that order! lol...

desert flowers and swirls

[Tara]

Z - - swirls and beads, swirls and beads...no cactus! :) Maybe you could make some sort of curtain or cloth...not sure what it would work as, but I'm thinking of those long flowy hippie skirts. Love your gorgeous blendy backgrounds.

I know I'm gonna love all these kits and whomever picked the color scheme - - wahoo!!!!

[Elisabeth]

whomever picked the color scheme - - wahoo!!!!
That would be Chris - she tossed out three to choose from and we all loved the same one best!

[stephanie3]

I love the BG styles!!

the boho talk takes me to a word art stamp/mask using the definition of
RHAPSODY: 'an ecstatic expression of feeling or enthusiasm'. (found it on an online search)http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/rhapsody

[Shana34]

Z, those backgrounds are awesome! I definitely think you should go the more graphic route. I'm liking the idea of a swirly gold overlay!

Chris, I love all those backgrounds. I'm rooting for the boho route with it. I actually found a pair of earrings that I think would make a great element!

the boho talk takes me to a word art stamp/mask using the definition of
RHAPSODY: 'an ecstatic expression of feeling or enthusiasm'. (found it on an online search)http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/rhapsody

Oh I love that WA idea I will work on that tomorrow!

[sssnoo]

I love these threads! No suggestions yet, but love what is made so far!

[jennilynn10]

Christine - love your papers! :tup: I definitly think it works great for Boho Chic!

Z - I vote for using swirls and go graphic!!!

[mrshuberism]

I love overlays and edge only type elements. Any of these suggestions as a border would be cool.

[jennilynn10]

Z - how about a quote for wordart:

"Dance like no one is watching. Sing like no one is listening. Love like you've never been hurt and live like it's heaven on Earth."
— Mark Twain

or a definition of serendipity:
luck, or good fortune, in finding something good accidentally or
making fortunate discoveries by accident

[mrshuberism]

Z - how about a quote for wordart:

I like both of these!

[TracyMHunt]

I love WA! How about:
“Love is the dawn of marriage, and marriage is the sunset of love” French Proverb or
“Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.” Rabindranath Tagore

And Z
I vote forswirly and somewhat graphicky

[ReneT]

Z - I vote swirly and graphicky too. Love Jennilynn10's quote ideas.

[estarks]

Wow! What a super bunch of suggestions! :tup: I finished up the BGs since tomorrow is Sunday. So you guys can see what I have so far, make suggestions and then I will start working on elements on Monday. :D I am thinking of taking this in a boho direction, but that is not set in stone. What do you guys think?

These are gorgeous.

[estarks]

Here is my 3rd bg in sandy stone with some muted color shadows on it.

I'm ready for element suggestions now after three bgs - and then if it turns out I need a fourth bg I will add it in later. I like to give more element choices if I can. So..... some scattered beads? What else? Do we want to add a realistic cactus and take it in that direction or should I go swirly and somewhat graphicky like some of my more recent kits - say, this one (http://store.digitalscrapbookplace.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2_18&products_id=12453)? I can go either direction and I'll let you all weigh in before I start! Although it's already been suggested to add gold and I would like to do that, along with the overlay suggestion, so my overlay will include gold! Just need to know if you want desert flowers or swirls with that order! lol...

Swirls and other feminine elements.

[just-pjz]

Christine---LOVE your background set, especially the green one! The rhapsody definition wa will be awesome! Like the earrings Shana found--an element like that, even in gold would look nice. Maybe some type of embroidered/stitched designed strip (in place of a ribbon) or a shantung strip with beaded fringe, lengthwise?

Z gorgeous bgs!! You do swirly/graphicky so well! I don't know how you feel about stitching, but I think a thin glinty gold bit would look great--even as swirlies.

[Tara]

A long, thin chain (looking as if it is kind of puddling up at the bottom) with a cream colored tag that can be attached?

I don't really have any new ideas...just wanted to come see what was new! Love the WA suggestions too!

[Tara]

I don't like these as is - - but they seem like they could be good inspiration for a Z element...maybe a corner element of golden swirls?

And here's another inspiring photo:
http://wanderin-star.com/images/Bohemia.JPG
I like those silver elements on the earrings!

[mrshuberism]

I like swirly corner type elements, maybe a corner only overlay of faint golden swirls?

did a Google image search for gold swirl and these are a few I liked

[SilverHealer]

Z - - swirls and beads, swirls and beads...no cactus! :) Maybe you could make some sort of curtain or cloth...not sure what it would work as, but I'm thinking of those long flowy hippie skirts. Love your gorgeous blendy backgrounds.

This. With a pattern like on some of the hippie skirts, too!

What about a larger scale gold chain that goes horizontal across the page (I'm thinking of those chain belts with the large circle loops) meeting two thirds across the page so one end dangles down by two to three loops. Then each chain has a dangly stone like the one's pictured?

Closest photo I could find for the belt...

Love the beads Nicole! I'd like to see a frayed scrap of fabric for journalling with stitches along one edge.

[Nicole Young]

Ohhh love the stitched fabric idea! I will post it probably later tonight or tomorrow :)

[Mars]

. . .I had several more but when I inserted the image url the result was a huge image, anyone know how I can reduce the size?

dl the image, if it's permitted, from where you found it, reduce the size and upload to your gallery or someplace like Photobucket. Hot linking shouldn't be done anyway. Or just link to the webpage you found it so people can go look.

These are AMAZING Nicole! They look so much like fabric, I was looking for the stiching on the edges! And I love the beaded dangly...it almost looks like something you'd see hanging off of a dreamcatcher....so my next suggestion is just that! A dreamcatcher in a darker gold with thin strands of golden threading for the lacing and maybe some loose beads and frayed ribbon strands to customise?

[Elisabeth]

Love the beads Nicole! And thanks everyone for the suggestions and direction - I'm just as happy not to go with a cactus for this but maybe in some other kit - they are blooming around here!

[MaryElizabeth]

This is becoming a fabulous collection, great job ladies:applause:
On the BoHo theme, how about some gypsy type beaten gold elements or crocheted jewellery - e.g.
http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i286/MaryE_2006/crochetjewellery.jpg

[Nicole Young]

Ohhh those crocheted flowers rock! Hmmmm maybe I need to add one into my kit.....lots of great ideas to work on today!!!

although I must say I'm liking Christine's a WHOLE LOT!!!

[kristievcat]

Oh, these are coming along just swimmingly! Some one suggested the definition of serendipity as a WA. I love that - it really is a way of life for a Bohemian. My DH actually is a true Bohemian. As wonderful as serendipity is, it can be quite annoying waiting around for it to fall in your lap when you're used to going out and getting it for yourself!:doh:

[Christine]

I have always LOVED that word, no idea why, just seems like one of those big words that sounds cool or something. :rofl: I think I will do something with it on my coordinating kit.

[Christine]

What about frames? Does anybody want any frames and if so, what kind?

[mrshuberism]

love the swirly overlay....

what hasn't been said yet....looking, looking.....ummm wow so much has been said

glass beads, string of glass beads, oh what about a glass frame? a rather thick one with a blown glass look or layered glass

[Shana34]

Chris I love what you've done. I love the idea of a blown glass or beaded frame. How about a panoramic one? Or maybe a square bracket frame with glass beads in it?

Z I love the swirls! They're perfect! How about a gold glittery splotch with some word art over it. Maybe Live, Laugh, Love?

[kristievcat]

I like the blown glass frame idea - or a frame with melted glass blobs. Glass blowing is very Boheme, of course. Wish I could find a photo of what I'm talking about. I live in a very "artistic" town and about 1/2 the people here blow glass. And they get these little blobs of excess glass while they are blowing and they blot them off onto a piece of metal. They make some incredible accidentaly artwork. I can't find a photo, but I'm sure you've seen what I'm talking about. Just wish I could explain better!

looking good, ladies!
love the wordart and flower, Christine, and of course! frames are always needed! I most have suggested glass ones. I'll throw out a post for a crocheted one or a leather one with some emroidered design.
Z--GORGEOUS overlay! love the bits of glinty gold...I agree, a wordart/splotch combo like that would be awesome.

[Shana34]

Oooooh a LEATHER Frame! I love that idea. That would be totally cool!

[stephanie3]

some 'stamped' metal (crushed and dinged - not a craft stamp):D
swirls/circles

maybe with kim's kit - with it's beautiful metal-ish BG

[Nicole Young]

Hey guys! I have a couple more elements done today! Can't wait to see what more you suggest!!!! Its getting very eclectic boho and I am LOVING this!!!!

Here is the preview:

good one and I love that necklace too :D

[kristievcat]

I like the leather frame idea too. But not a hard leather - a soft, well-loved leather. Maybe suede with some fringe. Fringe is so Boho Chic! Ohh, how about glass bead on the fringe?!

Someone said glass frame?

http://img40.imageshack.us/img40/9596/screenshot127s.jpg

[estarks]

Don't know if it would work, but what about some "tin-punched" or hammered copper elements? Kind of artsy and whether pure copper or aged, the colors would work. Or some racu (sp?) pottery?

Some glass perfume bottles & vases
maybe a hand-blown glass lantern that emits a realistic "glow?"
Something like this might make some cool "fasteners" (even though they are really to tie back drapes with).

[Shana34]

Kim, how about a plum colored paper with faded circle outlines, maybe like grapes, but not necessarily grapes? I'm not sure if I'm describing it right...LOL

http://www.chrisroberson.net/uploaded_images/affinity_bridge-782236.jpg

[aj_trouble]

Elizabeth - gold sequins scattered in little gold moon and star shapes.

[aj_trouble]

Kim - copper elements would go lovely with the background you have created. Perhaps a copper frame with leaves entwined around it?

[kim]

Pssequimages put the following note on my facebook/blog :)
Thank you for the chance to play. I love Celeste because of the blends you have made in it, the texturing on the papers and the soft gentle versatility of it, Kim. For multiplicity background, I would like to see a painterly effect with soft edges combining the browns and pinks in the color palette. I would like a small frayed or curled or rolled edge on it.

[just-pjz]

Oh, wow! These are all turning out so great!

Z...I agree with the wordart suggestion and the shaped/scattered sequins! How bout some ribbon strips? thin, horizontal ones, a bit shiny (satin??) in the various colors, overlapping a little, and stitched/bradded/stapled down on one or both of the short ends?
Christine Wow! I'm surprised your not blind after all that stitching! It looks fantastic though...thanks for suffering through it!
Kim...such elegant papers! perhaps a grape vine frame? a bottle cork? wax seal splat to add a date or something?

some other suggestions....
-some tear-drop kinda shaped dangling bobbles, something like an earring
-some gold round discs, dangling for tags

[minnmom79]

Love all the Kits so far!

Suggestions:
A satiny ribbon with copper or gold pattern on it- a little grungy or with a faded pattern
a stamp border that looks like a henna tattoo design
a paper or wooden tag with beads around the edge

[kristievcat]

Love all the Kits so far!

a stamp border that looks like a henna tattoo design

Oh yeah! Definitely a henna tattoo!

I did a blown glass frame and a ring chain. I hope you love them! :yes:

[kristievcat]

Christine, this is awesome! I love that chain. And nice idea to make the oblong frame. Just love it all!

[Mars]

Elizabeth... one of your beautiful word art stamps

I looked for some with desert theme... are you still doing desert?

“The phoenix, hope, can wing her way through the desert skies, and still defying fortune's spite; revive from ashes and rise.” - Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra

“Ideals are like stars; you will not succeed in touching them with your hands. But like the seafaring man on the desert of waters, you choose them as your guides, and following them you will reach your destiny.” - Carl Schurz

“Those fields of daisies we landed on, and dusty fields and desert stretches. Memories of many skies and earths beneath us - many days, many nights of stars.” - Anne Morrow Lindbergh

[Chellie]

Oh man Kim & Christine, beautiful work! Keep it up everyone, coming along great! :D

[Shana34]

I love them Chris and Kim!! :D

Kim - how about a piece of circular wire with beads like you put around a wine glass. I think they're called wine charms? Something like the picture below:
http://www.yarntomato.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2006/10/wine_charm_group.jpg
Or maybe a dangle of beads from a safety pin, needle, or brad?

[Elisabeth]

OH my word, I'm a little behind!

Thanks Mars - I have some word art in progress; just haven't finished it up yet.

[marmain]

These are turning out SO beautifully!!

Kim - What about something like a cork coaster with grapevines around the edges that can be used for journaling? Or even just a grape vine with a bunch of grapes? (stuck on the grape thing, LOL!)

[Elisabeth]

Mars, here is the word art with splodge, and Paula - here is a mutation of the ribbons you requested:

[Tara]

Such an elegant kit you've got going there, Z!

[Christine]

ok I did a fleur de lis pin based on the earrings that someone posted and the leather luggage tag. Only one element left! Wahoooooo!

Added the little flowers for Shawsi:

Jennylynn10 made a suggestion of bangles and crystals; I combined the two:

[Elisabeth]

Thanks Mars!

Someone early on suggested paisley, so I added a fading pattern of paisley onto this deeper purple background, which I added in for richness and depth.

I was nearly falling asleep by the time I got a chance to get on to DSP to see what you have come up wth, and I am stunned by the beautiful kits you ladies have put together! They are AWESOME ! :tup:

If we are not done with elements yet, could we please have one large full muliti shaded and layered flower ?

I love the frame!!! I'd love to see gold filigree swirls like grape vines.

[jennilynn10]

Hey guys! I have a couple more elements done today! Can't wait to see what more you suggest!!!! Its getting very eclectic boho and I am LOVING this!!!!

Here is the preview:

I am voting for some wordart. I would still love to see the definition of serendipity!

[teetopper]

Beautiful ladies!! These are going to be gorgeous kits. I just love Multiplicity!!!

[thecharmed01]

Thank you Estarks, Shana34 and SuvGal!!! :) Here are my new additions.
http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/7359/kl_mult6_S5.jpg


I would love to see a touch of nature in this... like a grape vine leaf edge with a few bunches of grapes.....

[aj_trouble]

Still hoping for my golden scattering of heart and moon sequins!!!

[just-pjz]

Z! LOVE it! perfect wordart, as always, and I love the dangling jewels and those gorgeous ribbons! I think a flower would be wonderful...but a dimensional one, not stampy..with some wispies sticking out from behind.

Kim the stamped edge and frame are so complimentary to your kit! love them!
maybe a copper strip for titling or journaling--the kind with brads on either end, like a bookplate thingy?

Christine love the added bits! the blown glass frame is beautiful. and, uh, I had a suggestion but I must have dropped it on my way here......:o

[TracyMHunt]

Kim I would love to see something kind-of-organic to nestle the frame in, like a clump of very textural moss and may be a leaf or twig that could be tucked behind the frame.

I like this idea - and it seems to be the popular idea to have grapevines in some way. How about using the grape vines/leaves to tuck the frame into?

This is wonderful! How about a fabric covered frame with an oval cutout? I'm picturing a rough weave like the strip, perhaps more purplish, with metal paisleys in the corner, perhaps even a small string of beads along the bottom.

[moog25]

Mars, here is the word art with splodge, and Paula - here is a mutation of the ribbons you requested:

Perhaps some old-fashioned roses in those wonderful muted colors to tuck into a corner.

I'm so glad I didn't miss this completely while I was away. I would love to see a nubby silk ribbon with a dusting of copper.

[Christine]

Alright now we need a name for mine :D

I did a blown glass frame and a ring chain. I hope you love them! :yes:

I can't believe how perfect this is going to be to use with pictures I took of the Grand Rapids Womens Chorus concert, which was entitled "Rhapsody" The colors are even similar to the dresses they wore. With that in mind, how about some stylized musical notes in the same blown glass, with flourishes to match?

[>>aruaL<<]

Alright now we need a name for mine :D

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/7359/73_K_Multiplicity66.jpg
Rhapsody!

[moog25]

Darn! I was too late. How about

"Rhapsody in Spring"

[Christine]

[Chellie]

I was going to say Golden Rhapsody but Bohemian Rhapsody is alright I guess *goes in the corner and sulked* :cry:

LOL great name actually but Christine "golden" better be in your 2nd kit (this applies to Kim, Z and Nicole as well. I want golden!) If not, I shall hold DSP hostage. :cool:

[kim]

I loved the Moss idea... Hope it translated well for you!!! I have a tiny bit of organic "bark" underneath it to give it a little "stay" :)

Moog :) I did a nubby... silky ribbon with copper :) I hope it is what you thought of :) :)

OK!!! NEEDDDSSSS a NAME!!! :)

[addielee]

Kim, what about something referring to a good wine like 'Fine Vintage'

[twinsmum2]

3 more pieces done!!! Great suggestions guys!!! I need 3 more!!!!
http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/7359/preview_jpegney2.jpg

It's looking quite cloth/material orientated so why not a brooch. A nice pin type one (like a nappy pin) but in the design of a brooch - hope you know what I mean. Or the type that you pin in your shirt and it has a little end to push on to stop it coming out the other end.

Or a button.

Love the crocheted flower.

It's looking very nice :)

[Elisabeth]

Thanks for the reminder about the sequins!

Okay, Chellie, "Golden [what?]" for mine? I don't wanna be held hostage!

http://img717.imageshack.us/img717/5971/screenshot134.jpg

[Elisabeth]

Wow, it's hard to believe we all used the same color scheme on this one!

[just-pjz]

Just gorgeous!
Love the name, Christine and can't wait to see kit 2!
Kim love the moss! just beautiful! I like Addie's line of thinking for the name--it needs a wine tie in.
Looking good, Nicole! love the leather frame and wordart. maybe some stitching?
Z LOVE it! Golden, huh?
-Golden Morn
-Golden Beauty
-Golden Serenity

Kim the moss is perfect! How about "A Friendly Vintage"?

Z what about "Golden Dawn"?

[minnmom79]

Z-
Golden Sunset
Golden Starlight

Kim-
I like the Friendly Vintage suggestion

[Elisabeth]

I dunno, I sorta like Mars' "Golden Hostage", lol! I hope Chellie checks in soon so I don't have to call it Golden Hit Squad! Just how dangerous are you anyway, Chellie?

*quakes while waiting*

[Shana34]

Oooh I like Golden Glow that Mars suggested. Maybe Golden Dusk?

Kim, how about Merlot Moments?

[TracyMHunt]

3 more pieces done!!! Great suggestions guys!!! I need 3 more!!!!

I love the mesh and the dangling coin fringe!

[Shana34]

Nicole, I agree with the stitching idea. Maybe a thin and worn leather cord stitched around the edge of a paper? How about either a crocheted or beaded butterfly, if beaded, something like the picture below maybe?
http://ucables.com/img/extra/BOHEMIAN-STYLE-BROWN-R18873-1.jpg

I know we're not there yet, but I wanted to suggest a name before I forgot. La Vie Boheme :D
