Another design team project for our challenge over at DS4J's challenge blog. I had the honour of choosing the theme for this challenge, and went for BLACK AND WHITE. Never did I realise how difficult black and white actually is, lol.
I have used the following images from DigiStamps4Joy:
The images have been coloured with Copics. The brads are from my stash. The design paper is from BasicGrey and FabScraps. The sentiment is from Create with TLC .
Looking forward to seeing your BLACK AND WHITE creations. So hop on over to DS4J's challenge blog and link your Creations to Challenge #97.
