MAY07VSNP - SAT 9pm - Captivating Colour - Chat Thread
Captivating Colour
Maiden Hostess: Ambouth (Anne-Marie)
Code/Keyword: MAY07VSNP
Time: SAT 9 pm
Flower gardens usually captivate us with a riot of colour, capturing our attention and inviting us to take a closer look. Look closer, and what you’ll find is that what looks like a mass of pink peonies is actually various shades of pink, that those rose-coloured azaleas are composed of various hues of red, or that those blue hydrangeas are made up of tiny periwinkle, amethyst and violet blossoms.
Your challenge is to compose a monochromatic card – using flower images, of course! A monochromatic card uses only one colour (blue, red, green, yellow, orange, etc.) but brings together various coordinating shades of that colour to add depth and interest to your composition – just like a real garden! The layout, embellishments, etc. are completely up to you – as long as everything you use is in shades of the same colour!
My sample is attached below.
Challenge Submissions
Additional Samples:
kthaman
twget
Uploading Instructions:
* You have 45 minutes to complete this challenge.
* Please remember to put in the correct keyword when uploading your image. If you are using additional keywords, you must separate them with a comma. Copying and pasting the CHALLENGE Keyword is recommended to avoid typos.
* It is also recommended that you post a link to your creation in the chat thread just in case the gallery is being testy.

Are you all getting "cannot connect to the database" at times when you try to comment or look at the gallery?

You can play any of them at any time, just stay within the 45 minute time limit for the challenge. All uploads need to be done by 3pm Eastern on Sunday.
