Yes! That was the challenge at the Stamp TV Mix It Up Monday this week to use just TWO colors! And neutral colors were included so it made it a bit more limiting! Now for some reason I did find this a challenge, but I think I managed to pull this one off at least.
I did some embossing but I think it was not a good day with the humidity higher, but this was the best I could do considering that. Because there were mini flecks of white embossing powder, which for some reason I could not remove as they seemed to fly back on, I also added some bigger flecks by using pearls.
I chose the pine image and the sentiment from the Gina K. Designs Peace and Joy set illustrated by Theresa Momber. I stamped them in Gina K. Designs White pigment ink onto Cranberry Tart card stock and used some white embossing powder from Sparkle N Sprinkle. Inside the card I added a white sheet of card stock and also stamped the pine cone image and a sentiment with Gina K. Designs Cranberry Tart dye ink in order to tie the inside and outside together!
I seem to be into a pearl or sequin sort of frame these days. I can see where ones of various sizes sure can dress up a pretty clean and simple card.
Well, that's all folks! I did my usual card a day. I might get done by the time it comes to send cards at Christmas! LOL
Have a great day! And God bless all of you!
Hugs, Verna

Wow! I love this card! It would be an easy one to mass produce for your holiday list of friends. Gorgeous, and I could be proud to send it.
Gorgeous Verna!! I love the white embossing, and that red cardstock really makes it pop!!!
I love pine cones and branches on a Christmas card and your card with them embossed in white on the red background is really fantastic, Verna! I think your pearls and specks beautifully evoke a night sky with stars!! Hugs, Darnell
