BLACK & WHITE, PERFECT HARMONY

Recently I have been drawn to B&W cards, which is probably a good thing, since I'm teaching two classes of black and white cards this month! The nice thing about them is, each element is more important, because you don't have a bunch of colors or embellishments or designer paper to rely on.  Here are two of the cards we made last Sunday, and will make in the class scheduled for this Thursday.
Oh, and please play along with this week's sketch challenge!
