SDC38 Black white and hint of yellow colour journal page

This challenge has taken me way out of my colour comfort zone. Kaz at Stampotique set the challenge "I'm setting you another colour challenge as you all did such a good job of the last one. This time it's to use black and white and add just a hint of another colour." I used my new journal for this and swiped black dylusions over the page with a baby wipe as I had been mopping up paint from another page (still in progress). I then used a mix of bottle lids to stamp circles with white and yellow acrylic on both pages. I then stamped Eric and Olivia onto the page and embossed them with TH Black distress powder. I used a Ranger medium pen to write my thoughts and embossed that too (I took a chance on you, worth the risk). I think my head must be full of Abba songs and advertisements as there are two well known catch phrases in there.

My stamped figures were blending into the background so I drew white lines behind them which helps bring them out and then I went a little doodly with the white pen. The facing page also has a Lost and Found Gramophone stamp on it. It is disguised within the white doodles. I used the last of the Tattered Floral pieces from the TH die to create a flower and leaves and added a paper ruler stem. Another part of the flower gave me the love heart balloon.
I'm off to the monthly EK Craft and Crop tomorrow so hopefully will have lots of times to play or finish stuff. I have about five different projects littering my desk at the moment and none are quite finished yet. Thank you for dropping by and I love reading any comments people make.
