Hello crafters! Our third post today is featuring the Linear leaf Background die. This die has been designed in a smaller size for those of you that have requested smaller dies. However, it can easily be extended to create a larger background if desired. The linear nature of the background makes it a great die to cut into strips to use as borders too, so it is not just simply a background die. I love the fact that it really makes a statement, but if you need a quick card, it fills the bill for that as well so it is quite versatile. The leaves have alternating positive cut out veins and negative cut out veins for interest. If you like the look of this one, just leave your comment and you never know, your name could be the name that is drawn out to win this set! The final post today is at 6pm. I hope that you can join us back here then. All for now, Sue x

Hello again Sue,
Love love love this linear leaf it's been the one I've been waiting for and you haven't disappointed me with your gorgeous card showcasing it. It's shot right to the top for me. To me it has an Art Deco look about and that ticks all my boxes. I tend to make bigger cards so am pleased it can be used for them as well. Thank you Sue.
Love and hugs for all

Hi Sue. This is a lovely background & lovely card. The background would be great for those men’s cards we battle with! Thanks x
I like the background die, Sue...especially as it can be extended. There are days when I'm not quite sure how big my card will end up! The ideas in my head don't always match up with what happens on the craft mat!!! lol Nanny Jo N Ireland
Good Evening Sue and all .. Stunning back ground die with the Linear leaf . I can see it going with so many of the new dies from your collection and great design to add colour to the back ground. I am really enjoying the new range with fresh styles from other dies on the market.

Hi Sue,
The simplistic clean design of this background is my cup of tea! And as with all your dies, versatility is the key, whether used vertically or horizontally, it's a fabulous piece! And depending which colours you team it with, you've got an all-year die!!
Many thanks, such awe-inspiring creations.

The Linear Leaf Background is certainly one of my favourites and has almost jumoed to the top of my list!
I can see it being used in so many ways and I like the idea that it can be extended. The smaller background dies are also so useful if you don't always want to make large cards. I think this one will be very popular!!!

Hi Sue. WOW !!! Such a beautiful card !!! This is another definite winner with me !!! I love anything leafy as I love using Autumn leaf colours on my cards. I love that this die had both positive and negative lines on it, which makes it so much more interesting, and I can see loads of fab possibilities for this background die using lots of lovely crafty techniques. Also it is fab for making quick, very elegant cards, especially when shadowed to make it "pop" as you have done in your beautiful card. Thank you for sharing. Lots of love to you Sue from Tres x x x
