January 18: All black or all white with B/W photo

What was a challenge... lots of second guessing... is this element white or cream? haha

Tule, eyelet ribbon, dollie, 2 bead scatter, rose resin, flower resin, bead, gesso, white metal flower, loving clip, just us title, frame, splatter, white paper


 
@amandac I LOVED this challenge. As soon as I read it I thought to myself OOOOOHHHH I want to do a black page, I wonder if I have enough in my stash. And I had great photos in mind to convert to B&W too. I gathered my stash, scrapped my page, then went to find the credits .... only to discover Pink Reptile Design is no longer in the store!
Luckily, some of the elements were from collabs or kits I could still find. However, I did have to find new ones for some. So, yes, truly a challenge. I saved my original cause there are parts I like better, but this one works, I think. Thanks again for stretching me!

black frame, black bow, other black flowers, stitching, string in background

The flowers seemed much more black on my original layout!
 
I use lots of white backgrounds in my scrapping, so I was sure that I would do an all-white page. Then I decided on the picture and it just lent itself so well to a darker layout, so I dove in and did all black! I haven't done the blended photo challenge from @FarrahJobling yet because I don't have a new photo I want to use, but I did use the gradient technique for the first time ever!

This was a lot of fun. Thanks for the great challenge!

PRD kits are still being accepted for the rest of MOC! (My stash is so heavy on Mirjam's designs that I would have cried if I had to finish MOC without using any of her stuff!)

Really curious....how has everyone found their products for this challenge? Just a general windows search or something different. I don't want all my white or black alphas in the search if at all possible but can't see any way around it

I slogged through every single kit by Little Butterfly Wings and Rachel Jefferies - my two favorites!

I have a lot of Pink Reptile products, linked as much as I could still find in the store, but read that that was ok to still use
 
All white was definitely a challenge, LOL! Thanks for the inspiration.



10 elements: string, button (x9), 2 photo corners, leaf, flower (x2), bow, ric rac, paper clip, paint (x2), triangular stitching

Extra: "This" word art, date
 
This was the biggest challenge for me so far, I decided to go with black as I feel white would have been a little easier for me personally. But I'm glad I went black as this is so unlike anything I've created before:

 
10 different flowers, stitches, sequins, white period used as element, paint, 3 word arts, 2 papers, 4 enamel dots, heart stamp, beads, alpha
