black and white

>> Wednesday, January 16, 2008

I'm a really big fan of black and white photos. I've been wanting to color some stamps in black and white for some time. I have some grey copic markers coming to me via a RAK from the über fabulous Theresa Tyree! But i tried using some pencils to see if i could get a nice effect. It'll take some practice, but i didnt think it was too bad for my first try. :)

Has anyone else done any black and white coloring on their cards or scrapbook pages?

colleen gallagher, Wednesday, January 16, 2008: Looks great! Black and white is always "classy". I have stamped my bellas on black paper and heat embossed in white--that is nice, too. I have no talent when it comes to shading!!

Who I Am!

I'm a mama to 2 awesome little dudes, Jack (6) and Gabe (3) and a wife to a wonderful man. My life is very full and I am richly blessed! I have been a professional makeup artist for a over a decade (holy crap!) but I just LOVE to stamp and scrapbook! So in February of 2009 I started my own stamp company called, what else but... Paper Makeup Stamps! I truly love everything that I do! In 2010 I started to also do a bit of photography and by the end of 2011 I was so blessed and busy with makeup and photo work, that PMS had to turn into a digi based stamp company and I had to resign from the design teams I felt so lucky to be on but I had to refocus my extra time on family. My postings on my blog may not be as frequent as they once were, but I'm still honored that you've decided to peek in!
