Things are not just Black & White…

  
Paper Makeup Stamps is sponsoring the current challenge at Copic Creations, which is Monochrome.  One lucky winner will get $35 to spend at Paper Makeup Stamps, but tomorrow at midnight is the deadline.  You can go to this post for all of the deets and some tutorials on Monochromatic coloring.  I LOVE black & white photo's, they just seem so elegant and classic to me.  So when I was trying to decide on which image to use and what color to go with, I thought of Lucy and immediately thought of black & white and LOTS of pearls (again with the pearls, lol).  This is not my first Monochrome card, but it IS my first time coloring Monochrome.  Very fun and VERY easy!  I think a set of cards using different colors would be fun!  I wanted to stay true to the challenge, but if I were making a set or something I would likely add a hint of pale color somewhere on here.  I used the sketch from Taylored Expressions. If you have not tried this coloring technique I highly recommend it!  Hope you are having a wonderful weekend, thanks for stopping by!
