Supreme Scrap Tournament - Challenge 2

Hi everyone,

I am back with another post, to show you my LO for the second challenge of the Supreme Scrap Tournament.
This one, I must admit, was really a tough one, more so than I thought originally.

The rules were as follows:
Make a monochromatic colour layout

2 pages Layout (double page!)
2. Theme:
You can choose your own theme
3. Colour LO:
The monochromatic color scheme you use is up to you
4. How many Photos:
 Minimum of 1 photo
5. Photos:
- One photo must be partly on the left and partly on the right page
- One photo needs to be black and white
6. Not to be used:
- You are restricted from using black anywhere on the layout including, ink, paint, pen lines, journaling or any other elements. 
- There is not to be black on the page with the exception of your black and white photo(s).
- You can not use brown to antique elements unless brown is the colour you  choose for your monochromatic colour scheme.                  
7. Materials you may use:
embellishments, inkt, media stuff, everything that you want in the monochromatic colour.


xxxmmmmm.... yes, quite a tough challenge, and I found these cute photographs of my niece that I took in January, and decided to scrap them with a warm grey!!! yip, grey! Turned out to be much tougher than I had imagined. I didn't have the exact shade I was after, so I mixed my own spray ink using some pearly off-white paint, some black ink and a touch of mahogany coloured ink to give me the warm tone.

I wanted the focus on the photographs, so I went for a simpler uncluttered LO.

So here it is, #yummy strawberries!!!

Some detailed shots

... and one last shot, just in case there were any doubts about the colours in the LO, 

a photo with pure black and white paper photographed on the background for which I used one of the papers from Dear Lizzy's line, 5th and frolic. I misted over the paper to get rid of the white!!

Let me know what you think & thank you for looking!!!!
