There are no shades of grey for this challenge!  We are all about a non-color color challenge!  Just use black and white only on your card!  It will be like going back to the 50's and 60's when TV was broadcast in black and white!  Join us!

Remember to use a stamp older than a year and you must include the age (or approximate age) of the stamp in your blog post. After all – we want to give these old stamps some love!

Are you on Facebook?  If you share our challenge on your Facebook page, we will happily share your post!

Be sure to play along with us! This challenge ends January 25, 2019.
