January 9: White on White Page

Interesting challenge... I like it... For me the difficult thing will be subject matter, since like at least a couple of others, I am on a mission here to get pages finished... I have yesterdays page done, but not posted... waiting for the Bucket List page to be finished, a work in progress.... Hair appt this morning so back later today!
 
My Great Grandmother, Grandmother(Maternal), Mom, myself, daughter and granddaughter share a strong thread of personality: We all love the Arts, travel, adventure & exploration of places, cultures, and drama! I knew this of my Mom and me, but while looking through photos discovered a longer thread. What a cool discovery!:happydance
 
Please consider, as I do, a screenshot as a photo. My photo is a screenshot of the La Cage artwork from the theater website. Good challenge. I don't recolor often and I am currently lacking my shadow styles because I haven't reinstalled them since they disappeared in the last PSCC update, and I'm not great at making them from scratch. And I think shadowing is even more important when doing white on white. Thanks Christa @cfile for mentioning Cmd-I. I hadn't used that before and it helped with a couple things. Mostly I just used already white elements, or elements I could easily change to white with Cmd-U. Finding Jaimee's gesso papers in my stash was what got me started and gave me hope. :heartlub

Edited because after I saw mine next to others' mine looked pinkish even though Jaimee's papers looked perfectly white in PS! I went back and changed them to black & white and re-uploaded.

This was really hard for me. I went through my entire stash and found every element that was already white, then decided which ones I wanted to use. I de-saturated and lightened them all until they were just about the same shade of white.

Don't think my eyes can make the distinctions of whites that you specified. I realize that the background may look gray but actually it is one of my photos filling the page and then blended. I utilized the cutout technique we had in an earlier challenge on the word art and framed inside the photo so it would show up better.
