Working the soul


Oh so if you haven't seen this new challenge site......................then you must. First off I love both of those girls who run it, Jen is my Yo Gabba Gabba friend(haha) and Kim is just a bundle of creative energy wrapped up into a cute, hip girl's body.

I worked it with the black and white, 100%, and when I was done and I looked at it I wondered if I should even add a hint of color and decided not to. The picture is black and white, the hounds tooth fabric(which is from the red velvet October kit) is black and white, the card stock is black, white gesso, black sparkly stars that I got this weekend, and black marker/pen. So I did not do the black and white effect on the computer, it really is this way:)

Don't you just feel that black and white pictures are just more intriguing??? They leave you guessing, looking deeper into the image, they create shadows and depths that some photos don't have. It just shows you that color isn't always everything.

Loved this challenge, love that blog. I cant wait to see what they have in store!
