Color Throwdown #845 and NBUS #80

Sadly Color Throwdown is closing their challenge after #845 is complete.  It wouldn't be right not to make a card to say goodbye and to thank all of the design team members past and present for giving us such a fun and colorful challenge.  


My favorite thing next to birds is flowers and I just had to have this Garden Cosmos die set from Altenew.  I think they are so dainty, especially their feathery leaves.  They were colored in Altenew inks - Fresh Lemon for the body, Chamomile for the edges which was also used for the centers of the flowers and the corners of the card and Sweet Leaf and Just Green for the leaves.  A panel was cut with Spellbinders Notched Corners and embossed with SU Subtle folder.  The sentiment is from Betterpress.

A new die means my card is headed for Darnell's NBUS challenge too.  

Thanks for dropping by and spending a little bit of your day with me.

Bobby, Altenew keeps introducing another Cosmos and we just keep buying more, don't we? Your yellow Cosmos are so wonderful and you couldn't be more right about those sweet, feathery leaves!

Another beautiful card with those Cosmos flowers, Bobby. Love how you have colored these with the yellows - so bright and cheerful. Also love the color in the corners of the notched die. I too like the feathery leaves.
