whats black and white and gold all over.......

the challenges on this weeks TMTA and MAMOT




Black and white is a favourite of mine but I feel it can bit a bit harsh at times so I wanted to see if I could make a soft piece using the colours. I think I've managed to with this ATC, although the sprinkling of embossing powder shows up a bit more in the photo than it does in real life, so I'm not 100% happy with it.



I love working with touches of gold, but wanted to use it as the main colour for this moo card given that gold is the theme this week. I wanted to moo to have a meaning behind it, rather than just make a random gold piece, so I went with passing time and the golden years of life.

Great work Deb, it's always nice if you can put some meaning behind the project, helps to make it a complete piece I think. :o)

both fab pieces - love how you've captured the soft B&W feel on the ATC, and the rich gold on the moo is lovely.

both are fab Deb. I think the first one is definitely not harsh and I like the way you have positioned the white flowers off the edge. the theme for the second one is a great idea. like the charm you've used.(Oas well as the rest of the piece of course!)

Wow wonderful moo and stunning ATC. Love them all.

The first piece is very soft, almost looks like a slightly worn photo. The gold piece is very opulent!
