As humbled and happy as I am to be guest designing for Color Throwdown today, it is with sadness, too. After 15 years of delighting us card makers with gorgeous color inspirations, they are closing the door on their wonderful challenge. I know - I said 'oh, no!' too.
But WOW what a beautiful way to go across the finish line, right? I took those Autumn colors from CTD845 to a thank you card ...
Pigment Craft Co.: Jumbo Botanical Sprig - Altenew: label die -
The Stamp Market: So Very Much - and a wonderful SU! ef birthday gift
All topped off with another SSS bow!
I hope you like it and are inspired to play along! What better way to thank the CTD team for keeping us making those color-filled cards? They certainly can take large credit for getting this crafter to see beyond grey!
To Amy, Kelly, Lisa, Laurie, Lynn, and Susie, Vickie, and Wanda and all the past Color Throwdown designers: thank you, so very much for your stunning inspirational cards over the years!

Congratulations! What a gorgeous send off!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful sendoff you've given them, Michele! Love these gorgeous berries and seeing those embossed trees again. Congratulations on your Guest Designer spot! They will be missed.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful way to say good-bye! Such a stunning card--those diecuts are amazing! And I love seeing that embossing folder in the background!
ReplyDeleteYes, I did say "oh no!" I guess I'd better get a card made one last time. Yours is fabulous, Michele, with the bright colors and fun embossing. Congrats on guest designing.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a special post to thank them and say good-bye... but then again that's you... special! Congrats on guesting, your card is lovely!
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous card Michele! I love the elegant simplicity of your stunning design! :)
ReplyDeleteThey're going out with some beautiful colors, and you've displayed them to their best advantage in this clean card with all that wonderful white. Fabulous dies and embossing. A striking card for their grand finale, Michele!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to go out, and how wonderful that you are the GD for this occasion. You were are the perfect candidate. What a marvelous card. I sure do want that EF.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on being a final featured stamper on such a bittersweet post for CTD. Love the bold colors you picked and I always love that jumbo sprig whenever it makes an appearance!
ReplyDeleteI think you were the perfect choice for the final featured stamper. What a beautiful card, Michele. The design is quite versatile.
