Portuguese Collection

Hello my crafty friends!  Next up on the agenda is the Portuguese Background (shown here) and the Portuguese Sintra die set. Once again, this collection background has been done in several different dies to allow for greater versatility and cutting ease.  With an almost art deco style to it, I think this one will be a great pick for those dreaded male cards. LOL  Can you also see the Stacked Diamond Striplet peeking out from behind?  It makes a great accent!  Leave a comment if you want to be included in the drawing for these two die sets.  Join me back here at 4pm for the last post for today.  All for now, Sue x
