Challenge B

"One of the first things I think of when I think of Vegas is weddings!! But not just any old traditional wedding. Vegas has some very non-traditional wedding’s and that is what I want to focus!! We can all make something simple and elegant, but I want quirky and out of the box!

My only requirement is I want to see bright bold colors on a wedding card!"

VSN - Fantastic News!

Virtual Stamp Night - May 16
Challenge I

"My challenge for you is to try your luck at making a monochromatic green (with envy) card. You may only use shades of green with 1 neutral. All embellishments and papers must be green. No additional colors can be used. Your ribbon can only have green unless it contains your neutral color. This goes the same for your brads, buttons, charms, hardware, etc... ONLY GREEN!!! (if your dp has more than green, don't use it.)"


Fantastic News... I'm not green with envy. Really, I'm not.

LOL!
