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

    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

    oh it is no wonder we bow at your almighty fingers because you help us to produce and go through the same little screams that we do.....men. What a beautiful die and would work to our desires as well as their simpleness(and you can take that any way you want). Thank you Sue for yet another beautiful work of art that keeps our inspiration at it's highest.

    Hi Sue,

    I can't decide which collection I like the best. I thought the French collection and Austrian collection were really beautiful, as well as all the others. Then came the Noble dies which I really like, not to mention the striplets which are fantastic. Now there's this release! All of which I love.

    Excellent as always Sue!
