The challenge for October was posted and this time they were asking for gray and red. When I took the picture the gray looks a bit brown but it is gray. I need to set up a place to take the photos of my cards. Even though I have been here in my new home since end of July in my new craft room, that is one area I have not planned out yet.
I used a die to cut the flowers area out on white cardstock and glued a grey cardstock behind it. I used the same die and cut out a red cardstock. I carefully took each piece of the red and glued it over the gray cardstock. My granddaughter was watching me and she said "Now I know why sometimes it takes you a long time to make a card!". lol
The Merry Christmas and deer was cut out twice. The white was glued down first and the red was glued over it but off set just a little bit.
Another Christmas card and challenge down.
Off to go find another challenge to do to keep going.

It looks gray on my monitor, Netta, and I love the design! Well done putting those pieces back in for some wonderful texture! It's lovely to meet you! Hugs, Darnell (CCCC GD)
