Bold Spring Foliage

Good morning! It’s Lindsey here today.  It’s no secret that I was smitten by the Fall Foliage dies from the moment they were released. I rave about and create with them all of the time, so you can imagine my delight as soon as I laid eyes on the Spring Foliage dies! This set is packed with the same fabulousness, but in a slightly smaller scale and with the addition of stitched lines.  

The Spring Foliage dies can be colored and dressed up, but I also appreciate that their beauty can stand alone even in plain white, which is obviously the direction I chose to go here. Paired with a dark navy card base, it is quite the striking combo.

I created this card in a somewhat mirroring pattern. I used the newly released Praying For You Script die as the center focal point and built my design outward from there. Starting with the largest greenery, I placed one in the top left corner and a second matching die cut in the bottom right. Then I repeated the pattern on the opposite corners with a similar piece of greenery.  Visually it creates an “X”.  

Next I put a large flower in the center of the top and bottom and placed smaller flowers on opposite sides creating another visual “X”. I kept building outward, repeating the design with smaller images until I had filled pretty much every nook and cranny.  

I had so much fun making this card. The puzzle-loving side of me enjoyed finding just the right piece to fit in each spot, and amazingly I only had to run the dies through the die machine twice to get everything I needed (with lots of extras leftover). 

I’ve been blown away by this whole release and have had so much fun creating with everything in it, but I have to admit that the two dies I’ve used today are my absolute favorites.  They are most definitely worth adding to your collection!

I hope you enjoyed today’s card. For more inspiration, head to the Pretty Pink Posh Instagram– we’re kicking off a three day hop there!
