Pomegranate Thanks

Hi everyone - welcome! I'm back with a final thank you card for birthday gifts received last month. I didn't worry about being slow on this one since it'll go to my brother and his wife who are notoriously slow - lol. Wasn't sure what to do until I saw the current Just Us Girls Challenge #716 where you're to CASE one of the designers. 

I like to tell my friends Lin (Sending Hugs) and Jean (Right as Rain) that I'd never get to my Spellbinders boxes if it weren't for their inspiration. Now I have to add Bobby (Bits and Pieces) to that list! She made a gorgeous card using Spellbinders August 2023 Large Die of the Month. Here's my card inspired by Bobby:

Supplies: Paper - Park Lane A2 card;

My Favorite Things Colorful Canvas & many scraps

Dies - Spellbinders Blooming Pomegranate (DOML-AUG23);

Embossing folder - Spellbinders Arches & Dots (EOM-AUG23)

Other - Park Lane gold gems; foam tape

I thought I knew where the die set was - nope, not where I looked first...Instead I found the December 2023 box unopened (I blame the holidays). Second place I looked - success!! Box was opened but "unprocessed"; I like to put a magnet sheet on the brand info sheet for each set. Quickly did that, then worked to decide on papers for the pomegranate card. Since I had MFT's canvas pad out from other projects, I decided to emboss a greyish brown piece using a folder from the August 2023 box. First I cut the panel with a stitched rectangle, then embossed. Added it to an A2 card.

I loved the colors Bobby used on her flowers so went through the scraps drawers to find similar ones. My green branch is more olive than hers but I liked it against the background I chose. Die cut all the elements and assembled them while watching television yesterday - I felt so productive!! The set includes the thanks sentiment - handy! Note: after posting this, I went back and noticed that Bobby included five of the little white flowers on her card (mine are more cream colored). The die set cuts 4 in one pass but I decided I liked the fifth one so cut an extra and added it!! Just didn't take a new photo -lol. Luckily I had planned to write out and mail the card tomorrow so I had time for the addition!!

Thanks for the inspiration, Bobby!! I hope you enjoy my take on your card! Since my die set got first play here, I'll also link up to Darnell's March NBUS Challenge. 

Thanks for stopping by and have a crafty day! I'll be back tomorrow with the usual 2nd of the month Card Chain Challenge Reveal. Note: can still sign up for the March Chain if you link up by the 6th.
