It’s my second week to guest design with the Color Throwdown Team. This is so much fun!! Here is my card for the Color Throwdown Challenge #259.
The leaves have been stamped and cut out with a coordinating die. A chipboard leaf was also cut to adhere to the paper leaf; so the leaves are super sturdy. And again this week a Copic marker was used to color the cream colored pearl to a yummy chocolate.
Loved these colors so much that I just had to stamp some autumn flowers, too!
Hope that you can find some time to play along. And remember you don’t have to use the exact colors. Just use what you have that are close to the challenge colors. For some fabulous inspiration, you’ll want to see what all of the Throwdown Designers have created:
Tammy Hershberger – Stamp Happy
Broni Holcombe – Splashes of Watercolor
Lynn Put – The Queens Scene
Melody Rupple – A Paper Melody
Thanks for dropping by today!
Happy Crafting!

Wow! How gorgeous, Susan! And so inspiring! I like all of your cards. The first one amaze me with all the details – leaves, lace, embossed criss-cross pattern, faux sewing. And how pretty the colors are of the set of your three cards. Love how you added a plaid background too!

Love the card(s)!! Those leaves are gorgeous with the acorn and a polka dot BG (polka dots make me smile!) and sentiments across the top!! The flower cards with the same color combo are fab too!!
Susan, you totally rocked these fall colors and chose to use so many wonderful textures and details! Gorgeous card!
Fabulous fall card with such pretty details!
Oooh, much prettiness with your autumn leaves and flowers! The raffia is so perfect on a fall card, too. I’m pretty sure I have some of that around here … Thanks for all the inspiration, Susan!
Fabulous designs! Love all the texture on your first card from the raffia, lace, and ribbon.
