Black & White with a touch of Color

It's Friday again, and we have another fun filled challenge over at Phindy's Place this week.  We'd LOVE to see what you can do with a color challenge with a twist.  Your image can be colored, but everything else needs to be Black and White.... 

I have to admit, this turned out to be quite a challenge for me... I just could NOT seem to wrap my mind around this idea, but I think what I did turned out pretty good.  I think this was hard for me, because I tend to LOVE vibrant colors... so black and white was killing me.... ha ha....

I used this adorable ice cream cone from Phindy's Place, "Little Gems - Treats" which you can find here.

I've been wanting to use this ice cream cone for quite some time now, and THIS was the week I was going to do it.  The card actually has a pocket and inside I am planning on adding a gift certificate for my fathers favorite ice cream shop.  He loves Black Cherry ice cream, so I thought I would give him this on Fathers day. It's getting so hard to buy him anything, he already has so many things, and he always tells us not to buy him anything....so I tend to stick with the not so ordinary goodies that he enjoys...

I hope you'll hop on over to Phindy's Place Challenge blog, and check out the AWESOME and AMAZING work the rest of the DT did....  What talented ladies!!!
