This is my submission for The Greeting Farm's Black and White Sketch Challenge. Not only could you not use color, but the sketch was also provided to you. I have always wanted to do a black and white card, but have been way tooo coward to even approach it. Why? I love bright colors. I do love the looks of black and white cards though. They can look very elegant as I have tried to pull-off in this card or they can be very fun and funky as in a rock or skate boarder theme. Of course then there is the goth and the creepy, but I tried to stay elegant for this one which is why I chose the Pretty Hat Anya from TGF and paired it up with a pearl hat pin. I was supposed to have some blog candy for today, but have yet to take a picture so check back tomorrow for your chance at some really great stuff.Anya and Flower background: C1, C3, C5, colorless blender
Paper: SU DP, PTI White and black, Neenah
Stamps: TGF Pretty Hat

Perfect for the black and white challenge.
Amy's right, Mare...this almost looks colored because you've done the shading on Pretty Hat Anya so well. I love the framing of this. The polka dots really give a nice strong contrast and that pin is perfect. SO PRETTY is SO right. Ph and how do you get the perfect bow?? I gotta know! :)
Wow, I don't know what you are afraid of becuase this is a vision! Terrific card, Mar!
This turned out so super cute!
Great Job!
And elegant it is! Very pretty, Mary, and excellent coloring job!! You are much braver than I , my friend!
You found this challenge hard?!? It certainly doesn't show Mary!! This looks spectacular!! Your balance of gray shades and black/white is perfect....Anya looks like a 1920's starlit! :)
Wowowow.. This is super. I really like the way you used your colors. Your shading is sensational. What a wonderful card. Super job.
Dude. Your cards sometimes actually take my breath away.
I saw this in the gallery when I submitted my pitiful excuse for an entry... I was so impressed by it!
