Sometimes It Really Is...

Sometimes you just need things to be VERY clear...very bold...very black and white! It's a classic color combination filled with drama, contrast, mystery, purity, and so many other descriptive words! Perfect for wedding, graduation, Father's Day....the black and white palette will NEVER go out of style! Simply use as is, or add a third color to mix things up!

 

We challenged Louise and Fran to create their very own black and white project....with no other limits! Just play and have FUN! Here are their two AMAZING projects!

 

 

What is 'not to love' about a black and white color scheme'?!!! It seems to be a favorite with Louise and she rocks it like no other! With this layout Louise has taken an [over the top] grungy approach to creating her layout background. However she has balanced this with a very simple elegant treatment of the resin frame to bring the eye to focus on the photo.

 

 

To enhance the simple resin frame and photo, Louise has clustered a freestyle arrangement of the wire thread and small metallic embellishments around the frame. Brilliant, fun, and so eye-catching!

Our next project is BRILLIANT in more ways than one! (Here's hoping our PUN goes over!) Fran's creativity knows no bounds and we are so lucky to have her on our team!

 

 

"I love how versatile the Relics and Artifacts are, creating Albert Einstein from a cast from the Spirit Treasures set. I created his hair from wool, and added highlights and details with a black watercolor pencil."

"His noble head sits upon a slate pebble which has been decorated with glass glitter using Matte Gel to adhere the glitter. I've also use the pencil to tint the background over heat embossed details using the stone wall stamp from the Dream On set." ~ Fran Westmoreland
