What does green make you think of?
I googled the meaning of the colour and what it symbolizes:
Green is the color of nature, fertility, life. Grass green is the most restful color. Green symbolizes self-respect and well being. Green is the color of balance. It also means learning, growth and harmony. (http://crystal-cure.com/green.html)
For my CAS card I choose three colours of green from light to dark and adhered then to a white card base. I chose a leaf stamp and I used Veramark ink to quickly stamp on the focal panel with having to switch ink colours (big time saver). I stamped my sentiment right in the middle of the card in black to stand out. A really quick card.
