Swirly Scrolls background
Hello there my crafty friends! Moving on to the third post of the day, we have the Swirly Scrolls Background. I love this background because it looks great when placed over an alcohol ink background or a white on white background (and everything in between!) It is a fabulous die for a quick card too as it doesn't need much to make it look great! Pop your comment on this post if you would like a chance at winning this one. The next and last post of the day will be online at 6pm. All for now, Sue x
Wow! Imagine if you didn’t have a die cutting machine - just impossible to replicate. Love the card & my Christmas list is growing! Would imagine that this would be suitable to cut apart & make smaller scrolls if needed? Thank you so much Sue
Afternoon Sue and all Wilsonettes, what can I say, every new die is brilliant, I would not like to have designed this one Sue, but it will cut out beautifully, it is almost a card on it's own. Love it. Good Luck everyone, old and new.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

A lovely background die that can be used all year round, with any sentiment or no sentiment... so many ways to play with the Swirly Scrolls background.
