Hi Sue,
Lovely card and die. I rrally like the trxtured roses. Really elegant.
Extremely windy here in Co.Durham todsy, so if you're out and about stay safe. Love and hugs to all especially Tracy, Molly & Francis, love Alison xxx
Beautiful. Fantastic for thge card sizes I usually make. Couldn't wait and have ordered some of the Perspective and the ripple dies.
What a pretty card Sue. With a background die like this you do not need a lot more on a card, so almost not a background but a focal point.
I like it!

Well Sue you really are producing some more unusual dies and it's so good to see there are several smaller dies for those of us that make smaller cards. Thank you!
Hello Sue,
that's perfect. I love the smaller background, because I like to do smaller cards. But my cards never turn out as nice as yours! Very elegant! There are so many of your new dies on my wishlist, although I own a lot of your "older ones" already. I absolutely love the detailled design.
Lydia from Ergolding
Morning Sue, Great little mini background, love the card. You have worked so hard on this release, I just can't pick a favourite yet. A lottery win would be nice and then I could have them all and wouldn't have to choose.

Hi Sue,
Lovely die. Did a double take on this one. I thought at first glance that you had added the dotty embossing on the flowers separately, but no, it's actually on the die - very clever.

Hi Sue,
Love all the details on this mini background and it's smaller size is an added bonus - I only make large cards for my nearest and dearest now as the postage charges are beyond a joke these days, so this die will be perfect and also quick and easy to make too...another winner!
