Awesome challenge! I've never done an all black page, sounds intriguing!
Question: does black paint count as an element?

Here's mine.

i love seeing texture in single colour pages and i ended up blending two of the ForeverJoy Lace papers behind bits of Gesso from Paula so that i could use them both (because decisions are too hard and i couldn't decide which paper i loved more - i know, scrapbooker struggles!)

It is 12:30AM here... next challenge usually NOT posted.. thought I'd pop in and take a look and oh my goodness.. some of you must sit here doing nothing but wait for the next challenge 2 pages worth already posted!!! So since I like dark my first inclination was Black of course, but the example was so dark, I decided , white might make a more useable page, but I see others have posted varying degrees of black which makes a much more enjoyable page... Well I have sat here too long already so will probably wait till tomorrow to tackle this... will be dreaming about it!!!!!

@amandac If the element I'm using is black with a tiny bit of colour, can I use desaturate and make it completely black, or do I need to only use an element that is originally totally black in the kit(s) I'm using?

Wonderful challenge! I'll have to try an all white one as I tend to gravitate to black.

Question: does black paint count as an element?

Thanks! Yes Cindy, black paint counts as an element, as long as I can see it clearly

Can you desaturate to strip an element of color so that it can be used, or do you have to find elements in kits that are devoid of color for this challenge?

Hi Marilyn, I don't mind a little desaturation but would prefer you to have fun and hunt through your stash for black/white elements where possible
