Paper Pretties' Wednesday Challenge: Black, White, and a Splash of Color!

Stamps:  Paper Pretties 'O Christmas Tree'.  Cardstock:  black, textured white.  Ink:  Versamark, black marker.  Accessories:  Winter Wonderland and black EP, red satin ribbon, gemstone.

Welcome to Paper Pretties' Wednesday Challenge!  This week's challenge is a color combo:  Black, White, and one other color.  It's a double bonus because we're also continuing our sneak peeks leading up to the Grand Release Blog Hop on October 15th!!

Can you guess the images which are in the  set I'm showcasing today?  Snowflakes and elegant sentiments, obviously, but the main image in this aptly named 'O Christmas Tree' set is a Christmas tree with an elegant scroll overlay.  I embossed the scroll image in glittery white EP, reversing the up/down orientation to create this elegant, sparkly textured DP effect: 

I also embossed the snowflake and sentiment, but no matter how much I use my little, anti-static chalk pad, I always end up with a few stray EP speckles.  Determined not to give up (and also running out of time), I whipped out a fine-tip black pen and added a few more strategically placed dots to create a purposefully speckled look:
