Well it takes me a while, but I finally got to my second card for Tuesday's Color Challenge. I did not get back to it Tuesday, since I tweaked my left knee when a step stool I was standing on tipped. I already have trouble with my right knee from arthritis and with the left knee giving me trouble going downstairs to my stamp room was too hard. And I worked Wednesday (and it was DH's birthday) and Thursday I had to go and bag the leaves at the cottage, before the rain hit, as the thought of bagging wet leaves had me cringing! Anyways, about the card. This is also for Thursday's Ways to Use It Challenge and Friday's Free for All Challenge. This is my fussy version of the color challenge. I must confess, fussy makes me much more comfortable. And I must confess, I did fuss with this for a long time trying to get a fancy die cut greeting panel to work on this card. I finally gave that idea up and went with the ribbon instead and a smaller punched greeting. I also did my favorite thing...coloring. I had so much fun with this image. I also colored the snowflakes on the EF. It is pretty subtle as it is tone on tone, but I wanted to punch them up just a little. My food items on this are a Christmas goose (note: I have never eaten goose in my life) and Christmas cookies hanging from the reindeer and mushrooms (yum) on the ground around the sled. Celebrating 300 Free For All challenges, I actually used two of the first 10. I have a saddle basket on the reindeer filled with gifts and I did an out of the box die cut.

Love the gingerbread stars - and the mushrooms. What a lovely use of the colour challenge. And what a darling image.
Goose is pretty good - we had it for Christmas a couple of times.
