Title: Green is the Color of Money
Hostess: Keri (stampinupconsultan) Keyword: MAY09VSNI Date: Saturday May 16th, 2009 Time: 4:00 PM EDT "Why do we turn green with envy?" This seems to be a million dollar question. My answer would be that I can't have Edward Cullen and one day someone else will have his heart... But that is not where this came from. In the seventh century B.C., the poetess Sappho, used the word 'green' to describe the complexion of a stricken lover. The Greeks believed that jealousy was accompanied by an overproduction of bile, lending a pallid green cast to the victim. Ponder this thought for a moment. In theory we relate jealousy to green. So aren't we always jealous of those people who always have the luck and seem to win them all? Don't you wish you could win something just once? Don't you wish just once you had all the money? Well you're not alone because I want that too. 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.) UPLOADING INSTRUCTIONS: 1. ALL VSN CREATIONS MUST BE UPLOADED BY 10:00 PM EDT ON TUESDAY MAY 19th (for VSN) 2. You have 45 minutes to complete the challenge. 3. Please remember to put in the correct keyword (MAY09VSNI) when uploading your image. Copying and pasting the challenge keyword is recommended to avoid typos. It is also highly recommended that you post a link to your creation in the chat thread just in case the gallery is being wonky. CHECK OUT THE GREEN GALLERY HERE Now let me see what you can do... I have a few samples for you... I hope you like them: |

Fun - a green card!
Green is my favorite color! Although I hope it's because I love plants and frogs, and not because subconciously I am thinking about money...

Here's my sample: It's easy being green (if you're a lizard)
Is there a prize for sheer number of shades of green used? (It's not my favorite card, but my son has already claimed it to be the birthday card for a friend.) |
I don't think your birds look sick and I don't think Picasso would have thought that either.. LOL
I think your card is adorable... Thanks for playing hun.. :) |
Awe thanks...I just don't think I have ever seen green birds like that before. Hehehe.
