Blooming Pomegranate | Spellbinders August 2023 Large Die

Hello! Today, I am sharing a thank you card showcasing the Spellbinders August 2023 Large Die of the Month kit – “Blooming Pomegranate.” This die set includes 23 dies that allow you to create a captivating botanical illustration of a pomegranate. Yesterday I shared a project created with the Small Die of the Month kit HERE.

For the botanical illustration, I chose teal, dark orange, dark red, yellow-gold, and white cardstock after looking at pomegranate illustrations online.

To begin, dry-emboss Waterfall cardstock with Scattered Fall embossing folder and trim to A2-size; add to card base.
Next, cut Large Die of the Month pieces from a variety of cardstock colors and assemble.
Next, glimmer foil the sentiment from Mini Everyday Sentiments in copper on Snowdrift cardstock. Cut with a banner die in the sentiment set.
Finally, add the card elements to the dry-embossed base by adhering the fruits and greenery. Finish by embellishing with white flowers.
