Mosaic Ray Background

Hi bloggers!  If you have a beautiful angel then it makes sense to have a beautiful background too, right?  Introducing the Mosaic Ray Background.  I love this die as it is done in mosaic rays eminating from just above the centre of the die.  It has no outer cutting edge so you can have whatever sized border you want or even continue cutting for a larger background if desired.  Shown here with a gorgeous alcohol ink background behind, this die looks amazing with any type product used behind it; think pixies, opal polish, crystal tints, holographic glitter, you name it, it's spectacular!  Just pop a quick comment on this post to be entered into the drawing to win it as the third post of the day will be along at 3pm.  Please join us back here then for more festive fun!  All for now.

  12. Another winner. Sue what I love about your range is that although it's a Christmas launch, you can use them for so many occasions. All you need is a bit of imagination! It could be a sun ray, spiders web, stained glass window. The possibilities are endless.thank you Sue xx

  24. Hi Sue

    What a beautiful card. I really love the colours of the alcohol inks you have used. When I first saw the die (even though it was in your first post) I was a little unsure as a spiders web jumped out at me and I really don’t like spiders. However, seeing it used in these gorgeous colours I’ve changed my mind. Though, I’ve read a few other comments that can see a spiders web...

    The angel looks great in this card too.

    Love Helen xxx
