So I think this is a first for me:
Making a card thats all Black and White except the image. It was a little challenging but at the same time took out the guess work. No matching colors to papers, just B&W. It was quite liberating. lol
Anyway the theme this week at Phindy's is, you guessed it:
All Black and White Except Image
So for a recipe we have as follows:

Happy Anniversary my sweet friend! Hope you're enjoying your day! This card is such fun...I never realized how liberating it must be to use just white and black for papers. I may have to try that sometime. You know how much I adore your work...and how envious I am of your coloring talent!! I aspire to be you...well, except maybe the ducks in the bathtub thing! LOL! Hugs. Pat
What a sweet image! Especially love your colouring! Thanks for joining us at Anything Goes this week. Hope to see you again soon x
Dorcas, midnight gardening is only possible in Finland with the midnight sun, sun never sets summer nights etc.
I love the image because is so ladylike with the scarf and your way to colour it. It gives depth in a curious way to add black dp. Lovely!
Tulips look real to me and the watering can makes me cry, admiring the light and shadows. Sky looks new!
btw: Please go and have a look one of An's latest coloring:

Sorry to advertise here, but Prismacolors and she makes a perfect match!
What a beautiful card is this. Love the way you choose the background in black. It gives the image the spotlight.
Love your coloring and the way you made the clouds.'
Hugs Marianne

What a lovely card Dorcas! Thank you for joining us at CFAS!
What a striking look, Dorcas...you aced it! I think you should do this more often...it really highlights your image so well! (Not that it needs to be, your coloring skills are fantastic and they alone highlight your cards.)
Great work, very cute image. You´ve colored the pretty stamp so pretty. Thank you for joining us at ASC.
