Challenge 6 - Black and White

Welcome to another Crimbo Crackers challenge! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and that Santa was generous with crafty stash!

As its the first challenge of the year (Happy New Year!) I thought I'd start with a simple theme:

Black and White

I will allow a tiny bit of colour in your creation such as skin tone but it really does need to be predominantly black and white. And remember that your entry needs to be either Christmas or Festive related.


I don't have a sponsor for this challenge so I will put together a little something to send to the winner (I've recently tided and colour co-ordinated my ribbon box so it could be something I've found that I didn't know I had!)

If you want to know more about my sample, pop over to my blog for a read

Good luck with the challenge - the rules are below - deadline is Wednesday 18 January at 12noon GMT. There is only me to comment on your entries so don't be upset if I'm a little tardy - I'll get there in the end!

The winner for challenge 5 - Snowflakes will be announced next Thursday so stay tuned for that!
