Blooming Garden Inspiration | Swirl Lattice Card with Melissa

Melissa Phillips here with one more card using more lovely dies from the Blooming Garden Collection designed by Marisa Job.  They are breathtakingly beautiful and loaded with possibilities.

The Swirl Lattice Panel die reminds me of a hidden gate leading to a secret garden and I was so inspired by it as I was creating.

I die cut my Swirl Lattice Panel from gold glitter cardstock and layered it over pink patterned paper.  Gold and pink always look so elegant together.  I then used white glitter cardstock and the Swirl Leaf Branch die and layered it over a pre-printed piece of ephemera and my Lattice Panel.

My garden gate needed flowers and vines in order to be complete.  I used some vintage trim and patterned paper along with the  Swirl Hexagon Petal Box die set and cut several tiny blooms to add to my gate. These dies allow you to be so creative and to let your imagination run wild as you try different layering methods, mediums, styles, colors, etc.
