The Play Date Cafe Challenge PDCC46



It's 'Color Splash' time once again.
This week's 'color splash' is a bit
different than the others we've done
in that you will have a
choice of 3 different colors
to go with the base of

Black & White with.....

Pink, Copper or Gold.

Senior Designer Julie Ranae is your color host
once again....
"As soon as I saw this photo, I knew it had to be our next 
'color splash challenge'.
Each time we do this type of challenge, there is a bit
of confusion on how it actually works.  This week we are
throwing in a choice of colors, so let me clear up any confusion.
'Color Splash' actually means 
'black & white 
with a touch of color'.  
What we ask of our color splash challenges
is that you literally stick to 'black & white with the
required splash of color' and this week, it's
pink, copper or gold"
