It’s Saturday and time for our Create with Stamping Friends Blog Hop. This week’s theme is “Sprigs & Twigs”. Lots of choices for this theme!

SPRINGTIME SCENES

I thought all the leaves in this bundle would make a great card for today’s sprigs & twigs challenge! I really like that leaf circle die!

Stampin’ Details:

The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Peaceful Pine cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Basic White cardstock was embossed with the Ladybug Picnic Embossing Folder and added to the front.
A 1-1/2 x 5-1/4 strip of Peaceful Pine cardstock was randomly stamped with the open leaf branch with Peaceful Pine Ink. It was adhered down the center.
The circle Springtime Scenes die was cut from Lemon Lime Twist and the leaf circle from Granny Apple Green cardstock. I adhered them together, then used the remaining ring circle on top to finish it. It was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The solid leaf branch was cut from Peaceful Pine cardstock using the die and added to the side of the circle with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The open leaf branch was stamped with Peaceful Pine Ink on Basic White cardstock and colored with Lemon Lime Twist and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends, cut with the die, then added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The ladybug was stamped with Basic Black Hybrid Ink on Basic White cardstock, colored with Real Red Stampin’ Blends, cut with the die and added above the leaf branches with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The flowers were cut from Basic White cardstock and layered together, then added to the front.
The greeting from Springtime Scenes was stamped with Peaceful Pine Ink on Basic White cardstock and cut with the label die. It was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
A trio of red Dear Dots were added to the flowers and the label.
