This week's challenge at Simplicity was to create a one layer card using only red and white (or cream and white). I decided to use a red card base for my first card.
I stamped with versamark and white ink and then added fine detail white embossing powder. I heat set the embossing powder. The sentiment on the actual stamp is Season's Greetings, but I masked that off before stamping and then added the Merry Christmas sentiment and also embossed it with white. The snowflakes are just stickles I added.
For my second card, I really kept it simple. I stamped a music stamp by Flourishes and then added a sentiment (also Flourishes) at the bottom....super simple.
I think at first I wasn't too happy with this card...but it's growing on me now.
Thanks so much for stopping by! Your comments are much appreciated! Until next time....

So pretty...I never thought of stamping a music sheet in red. It really works for Christmas.
Both cards are fabulous.
These are amazing Susan! The white on red of the first packs a real visual punch and the red on white of the music is very effective too.
Ooo, that red card is fabulous! Perhaps I'll try that with a Santa hat stamp I have... thanks for the idea. :)
Oh I do like these cards - the white trees on the red base is so dramatic, just lovely! And the musical score - super!
love both cards,especially the white trees
