This time challenge is seriously interesting and challenging too. We have to create our creations using Black & White with a tinge of teal/turquoise/tiffany blue/aqua... + No DPs. Wow what a challenge? Interesting and challenging too.

When I came to know about this challenge suddenly an idea of creating something different came in my mind and I thought why not create my work in some different technique and lets introduce my fellow crafters on ICR (Indian Craft Room) to a new world of paper crafting. Thanks to my artist teacher who taught me this new technique long time back.

So here is my creation to all my fellow crafters.



I am using black and white + peacock blue. I don't want to restrict my artwork in some boundaries so I overlap everything on the frame border, outside from the inner space.
