I would like to give a special mention to two young crafters and their work from challenge 58

These are absolutely gorgeous and for such young crafters I was amazed.

So, it is the start of a new challenge and the theme is

This is such a favourite of many people....we want to see your creations using one colour and the various shades of that colour. Whether it is black and white or any other colour, it must just be one colour and its many shades. We will let you off with skin tones but everything else must follow the rules of monochrome.

The Stamping Bazaar - all the fabulous images have been designed by Marina Neira 

and you can see them all plus many special offers at The Stamping Bazaar Store.
