This is for two challenges. The first is Beate's challenge to use a tone of gray and one color. I did cheat with the color. I made it to fit two challenges but it will go off to the UT MD Anderson Cancer Center.
The second challenge is for The Twisted Sistah Challenge to use black, red, white and one other color and it was to be a Christmas card. If you would like to join us please use the keywords TSC1005.
Thanks for looking

You are so far ahead of me I will never catch up, Sylvia !
In our family, Gavin was the big train lover - it all started with Thomas the Tank Engine, and hasn't stopped yet - great way to use those EF and get that Christmas look on your card!! LYMI

Silly Sylvia, I think you need to change your name! This card is anything but silly! What you've created here is just beautiful. I love the added swirl with your uncolored image. I think everything is just so pretty. Love the colors too. Such a great card, Ms. Sylvia!
