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

Truly stunning card and the Portuguese background will be so versatile with its inner cutting aspects. I spotted the Sintra die when you used it with the Diamond Striplet yesterday and have been eagerly awaiting seeing which collection it was from. It has shot straight to the top of my

Thank you Sue for yet another beautiful work of art that keeps our inspiration at it's highest.
Love and crafty hugs from a nippy but sunny day in Costa de Glenochil,

Wow wow stunning card showcasing this gorgeous Portuguese die set the background is SOOO pretty
Love & Hug's Lynda Brock xx
These dies aer absolutely Beautiful as is the card
Hi Sue,
Yet another beautiful card. I think the addition of the striplet makes it look more art deco. It's really pretty here but as you say I can imagine a change of colour and embellishments would alter the look completely. Oh dear I really can't decide which I like the best.
Thanks
Heather Treble
These are gorgeous - love the stacked diamond striplet and also love the font used for the sentiment.
Hi Sue Yet another fabulous card created with some absolutely stunning dies, you really have excelled with this release of dies.

Fabulous Sue. Hope I haven't posted twice, I am having trouble posting and loading on to p interest which I am sure is my own prob. (Age has a lot to do with it...technology isn't my best skill but I do try !! You know even your colour choice is perfect. I am so jealous but thanks to your sharing of skills we all gain so much. Thank you as always Maureen
Beautiful card with those new dies...
Well done Sue
So intricate!! Just beautiful!
Oh wow Sue another stunning card the dies are gorgeous. I don't know where you get all your ideas but I am glad you do. I will check back later. Hugs Jackie
How redundant I am. Beautiful card. Beautiful card, that's all I ever say when I see your cards. I can see how the die on the right would be perfect for the masculine card. I DID notice how you used the new striplet die. Works very well . I pinned as usual. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/415386765607945066/
Myra from Florida says, wow, only 90 comments so far. These dies are superb and will do so much. How will we ever decide which to order. Winning one would certainly narrow it down. Good luck to everyone!
Gorgeous layering and beautiful pastel shades, a really gorgeous card.
Lorraine
