Tag Tuesday - Black and White only

Louise at Tag Tuesday has presented us with quite a challenge today, to use only black and white on our tags.

My tag started as a white watercolor paper onto which I stamped some of my new See D's clear stamps in archival black ink. I also used the same ink for the plastic mesh. The white rectangle with the letter F (for Fly or maybe Faye) was one of the lids (Friday) for my pills containers. Several lids broke so I saved them to see if I could use them. Does anyone else save these strange pieces of junk?

The results look more gray than white, due to the thickness of the lid, but I thought the scrap of lace turned out nicely. Louise, please give us an easier challenge next week. Black and white only is harder to do than I had imagined.

  5. Faye, I love the idea of the pill container lid -- how creative. I thought B&W was challenging too -- but as my child would say in his most sarcastic voice -- hence, the word "challenge.":):)

  7. I would NEVER think of using a pill box lid, but it's a wonderful idea, Faye! I really like the starkness of your tag, too....there's just something special about black and white.
