July 2017 Card Challenge: Black & White With Added Sample

[paddlegal]

July snuck up on me! Here's our challenge for this month. Create a clean and simple image in black and white then add just a spot of color as a focal point. Useage of washi tape encouraged. I have two more samples in the works and hope to have them up by Monday.

Oh wow! Great idea and that card is so cute!

Love it Farley! But I'll have a Diet Cola. Is that Washi on the bottom?

Striking card, Farley.

Thank you friends!

Anything you want Debbie. And yes that's washi at the bottom. Floating saucers and cups just wasn't working so I anchored them with the washi.

I was thinking that the more open style image was needed for this look but denser and solid stamps work well for a bolder look.

Have fun with this.

Very striking! Maybe this is one I can do.

Nice Farley, I love this card.

I was thinking I'd use this black and white theme, with a splash of gray, for a layout...cause that's how I'm feeling. Stay tuned.

Awesome Pat. Be sure to post it here.

And with that thought, if any of you would prefer to do a LO instead with my theme please do and share it here with us! This month's challenge will work for any kind of project.

Another sample. I love this set (The Ton - City Girls: Retail Therapy) and haven't really played with it until today. Not sure it's visible but I covered the packages with a clear coat of Pico Embellisher to gloss it up. And yes, I used another washi tape...yay me!

[Keitha]

I don't make a lot of cards but if I can I'll interpret the challenge in another form. For this page I chose my final papers with this July challenge in mind. My interpretation: black, grey with turquoise added. At Farley's suggestion I'm cross-posting it here. The site was named Kinoomaagewaabkong by the Algonquin tribe, which means "the rocks that teach".

Wow, I'm so glad I can zoom in on this in Dropbox. So much detail to see!

And is that washi tape and rub ons I see on the layout, too?

[mpizzazz]

That's a really fun card, Farley! And I can see the glossy coating even from across "the pond".

No washi, no rub-ons, ironic as they're some of my favourite embellishments - well, rub-ons anyway. The black triangles are stamped, and all the thin strips are papers from the collection.

[troublesmom]

Keitha I really love the color you chose to add to your Black & White! It just so happens to be my favorite.

[paddlegal]

This is just WOW! Not only does your LO fit in with this challenge, it takes it to a higher level. That background paper is outstanding and your color theme is drop-dead-gorgeous. Plus the subject of this LO is wonderful too.
