MAY09VSNPRE3 ~ March 28, 2009 ~ 12:00PM EDT~ THE VENETIAN
Title: THE VENETIAN
Hostess: Sherry (SherryLC05)
Keyword: MAY09VSNPRE3
Date: Sat March 28, 2009
Time: 12 PM (noon) EDT
I have never been to Las Vegas but I really want to go one day! In fact, my boyfriend and I joke around about getting married by Elvis in Vegas. Vegas is famous for it's bright lights, casinos, and over indulgences of many kinds. One of the most luxurious and indulgent hotels in Vegas is The Venetian . From the marble floors and gold trim in the lobby to the gondolas floating down the man-made river you can indulge yourself in the luxuries of Venice- all without leaving the continental U.S. My Challenge to you is to make a card using the colors from the lobby of The Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas. The colors are: Yellow/Gold Burgundy Blue White/Cream You can use any brand of cardstock as long as the colors are close. Attached are some pictures for you to use as your inspiration and my sample. Have fun and I can't wait to see what you come up with!
UPLOADING INSTRUCTIONS:
1. ALL VSN CREATIONS MUST BE UPLOADED BY 10:00 PM EST ON MONDAY, MARCH 30th (for VSN)
2. You have 45 minutes to complete the challenge.
3. Please remember to put in the correct keyword (MAY09VSNPRE3) 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 testy.
You can view the Gallery for this Challenge HERE

They always seem to know the right time to want our attention! My mom called me this morning wanting to chat, right when I was trying to upload my card and the computer was not cooperating!!

Alright...colour sketches stretch me but it's a good thing.
I kept struggling with this card but by the time I coloured in the image and put on the final touches I really liked it!!!!
I partly CASE'D it from a card my gf gave me.
I made it for the chef that made my DD's 18th b-day cake!!!
