Paper Maniac Inspirations + Challenge: Black, White, Pop of Color!

Welcome to a new week and welcome to the new home of the Paper Maniac Challenges! We're now combining the DT's weekly themes with the Paper Maniac Challenges and we would love if you played along with us.

For those who are new to our challenges, here's a bit of information:
1. A new challenge will be posted every SUNDAY at 5AM PST. We will have a main challenge and an optional challenge for you to take up.
2. All creations (cards, layouts, altered items, etc) are welcome. All styles are welcome.
3. If you can, please upload your entries to the Paper Maniac Gallery. This is highly appreciated, though not required.
4. You may combine this challenge with other challenges, but your creation must be a new one. You can enter as many times as you like as long as each entry is a new creation.
5. There is no time limit to our challenges! You can enter whenever you like, but when we offer a prize, entries must be received by Monday before the next challenge is posted.

So, on to the challenges and to the DT's weekly inspirations!
