Black and White


Black and white adds a touch of dramatic to a project but can also be very elegant.
We would like you to create a project to suit any occasion,
masculine or feminine or it could even be for Halloween!
You could add a touch of colour as Kerry and Deneen has done, but it must be a teeny weeny bit.

Just to let you all know that we are changing the day we announce our winners. 
Instead of the Wednesday directly after a challenge has finished, our winners will now be announced on the Tuesday between challenges.

Max 3 entries per person
You can use any manual (not electric) die-cutting/embossing machine,
dies or embossing folders to enter our challenges. 
Please tell us what products you've used in your post!!!
