Deco Snowflake Background

Hi bloggers!  Welcome to day number two.  We are starting out with a lovely die entitled Deco Snowflake Background.  This die is incredibly versatile as you can extend the outer die in any size you want.  Shown here, I have used it to create three layered backgrounds on top of each other for a pretty lacy effect.  The centre oval section has a snowflake motif that can be cut with or without the other sections to give a beautiful look.  If this one sings to you, then just leave a comment.  The next post will be along at noontime today.  Hope to see you back here then!  All for now, Sue x

  2. Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, when I first saw this die I though immediately of putting lights behind it to emphasize the loops, they reminded me of the Christmas lights we had on our tree years ago. Although the variety of this die is amazing for lots of other reasons, it can be cut and tweeked to make so much more and I am sure you have lots of samples of this Sue. Yes this is a great favourite of mine.

    Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

  3. Ohhh Sue, this sample is absolutely stunning. Where on earth did you get the idea for this design? Im intrigued how your design thoughts start, the end is always mostly beautiful as is this die and sample.

    Stay sensible everyone don't forget what we are still fighting
