Golden Girl


Hello crafters!  We are adding to the Perfect Portraits collection with the addition of this new die; Golden Girl.  She has been designed in the same sort of signature look but with swirls and leaves adorning her.  Earlier releases have seen a sort of spring and summer look for the portraits and now we have more of an autumnal look with the latest addition to the category.  She has a gorgeous thick braid and the same side view silhouette.  I love that you can go clean and simple all the way to beautifully ornate and everything in between with these dies.  What ever suits your mood works.  If you want to leave a comment on this post, I would love to know what you think!  Remember it is more than just this one die you might win!  I will be back at noon for the second post of the day.  All for now, Sue x

  2. Happy Sunday Sue. I've seen many stunning cards made with the previous collection of Perfect Portraits some CAS some really highly decorated but all absolutely beautiful so I'm looking forward to seeing more samples from you and our crafting friends with this new collection, if course there's only one Golden Girl in my opinion.

  22. Gorgeous I think this is my favourite out of the Portraits It feels a little less fussy than the other two and flowers could also be added on top of the leaves to make it more spring/summer like So more versatile

  24. Hello Sue and all
    Isn’t golden Girl beautiful, I know my granddaughter would love this one. Yes, she is my favourite of all of the girls too, and not just golden, though gorgeous that way, with that braid and the golden leaves could be changed to green leaves and add some of your flowers and voila ! Spring or summer girl, glitter and holly winter, oooh, must get her, so many ideas already

  92. Hi Sue. Well I absolutely LOVE this card !!! I love your Perfect Portrait ladies and your newest Golden Girl die is gorgeous !!! I do love her hair. I think it is a fab idea to have your new lady adorned with beautiful swirls and leaves. Like yourself and others have said it is perfect for all seasons, and I think it especially lends itself to Autumn and I can imagine making some cards in beautiful Autumn colours. I think the Pixie powders are a "must " to use with this gorgeous die. I really love this die set. Thank you. Sending lots of love to you Sue from Tres X X X
