"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.)"
