Only Two Colors

Can you make a beautiful card with only two colors?  That is a challenge at Stamploration so I gave it a try.  And the answer is 'Yes' .

I know that 6 of the last 8 cards I have posted have been done with either Distress Oxide Inks or with a stencil or both but I am having so much fun with them. Soon Autumn will be over and I will have to put them away (until I buy new stencils and new colors).
This card was made with a Stamploration stencil and Wild Honey and Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide inks.  I have never splattered with inks before but I love the card by Becca Cruger  so much, I had to try it.
After rubbing the two distress inks on another piece of white cardstock, I cut out "thanks" with a Memory Box die.

    I love how you used the leaves as a mask for your inking. Thanks for sharing with us at Words 2 Craft By. I am NOT thanking you for showing my why I need to add something else to my wish list! :)

    Marsha, The answer is indeed yes... because this is one beautiful card! And, between the two of us, you definitely need to buy Oxides in lots and lots of colors. Thanks for sharing another gem with us at our autumn-themed Words 2 Craft By challenge.

    Gorgeous inking! So sorry for my super delayed comments, just now trying to catch up. Thank you for blessing us with your entry at Word Art Wednesday. Hope you link more projects with us in our Current Challenge. Leaving you with the hope found in God Word in Psalm 147:11 which says, "The LORD delights in those who fear him, who put their hope in his unfailing love." Have a fruitful and blessed day!
