Color Throwdown #575

If you know me at all, you'll know that I could NOT resist this challenge from Color Throwdown... meet ctd575:


I had a blast upcycling a bit of packing paper from my RC package!  amy T. who is their January guest designer, will be pleased =]

Meet my card...


  • Kraft from the packing paper
  • Gold represented by my gold embossed images
  • Green leaves, and sentiment
Done, and dusted, in a 5x7 inch size!  The leaves are from several sets: EBE Mondo Chrysanthemum and dies, & Altenew Beautiful Day - which is also where you'll find my white berry sprigs.  I couldn't have written a better sentiment - this one is from Altenew's Rustic Linen set.

I think this one should be hand-delivered... don't you?  Wish I could deliver it to YOU to thank you for dropping by today!

    Oh I do like this one, Michele. It does look hand-deliverable, too...like you just stepped out of the florists. Fabulous upcycling for your wrapping too. Perfect sentiment. And is that a linen embossing folder I see? Bloomin' lovely card! xo Bev
