GC124: Color Challenge - Black and Grays

For our final challenge of our Go Poe! month, we are asking you to create some art restricting your color scheme to

Black and Grays

Artwork by Annette Goatley

We dare you how wonderfully you can create art using this darkly delightful color palette.

We would like to thank Alpha Stamps for their generous sponsorship throughout this month!


One randomly drawn winner from the qualifying participants for this challenge will become our new Home Page Artist for a week as well as winning this fabulous prize package which includes 3 yards of seam binding in black, mango orange and cream, 1 Afternoon Muse Chipboard Album, 2 collage sheets printed on cardstock "Witchy Business" and "Poe's Words" and 3 unmounted rubber stamps "Cricket", "Bat" and "El Diablo Matchbox Cover".


When the challenge closes on November 20, 2011, we will pick 10 Ginger Gems - fabulous creations that we feel really exemplify that challenge's objective. The Ginger Gems will appear in our wrap-up post and in a slide show in the blog bar for an entire week and their creators will have the honor of displaying our Ginger Gems blog badge.

For your chance to be eligible as a Ginger Gem or as a Home Page Artist, just follow the simple guidelines below:

1) Make a paper crafting or mixed media creation using ravens as your inspiration;

2) Post your creation to your blog or online gallery with a mention and link to this post; and

3) Come back to this post and leave a comment including a DIRECT link to your creation or use the linky application below. Remember to make it a link to the specific post or picture and not just a general link to your blog or gallery. We need to be able to find your art!

For more information on our challenges and directions on linking, please check out our FAQ page.

One random winner and seven Ginger Gems will be announced from the qualifying submissions on November 22, 2011. You have until November 20, 2011 to enter!

The Gingers got all somber and surreal with this one!
