Swirling Rays Background
Hi bloggers! The next die from our list of new Christmas releases is the Swirling Rays Background die set. While I designed this to go with the Christmas Angel, it can certainly be used without the angel and will even work fabulously for non Christmas themed cards as well. It looks great with Pixie Powders (as shown here), you can paper piece it or even layer it offset for unique designs, it is a really versatile die. If you like the look of this one and would like to be entered into the drawing to possibly win it, then just leave a comment on this post. I will be back here at 3pm today for the third post of the day. All for now, Sue x

Afternoon Sue and all Wilsonettes what a fabulous die this is, one of those all year round die sets that can be used for any occasion, I like it when we get our moneys worth don't you, and you have certainly given us that with this die. Love the sample, the blue is stunning and the flowers and twigs, yes another winner.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
A fabulous background die,

As June has said this lovely die can be used all year round, so making it more desirable. A great card to show it off.

Afternoon Sue I'm not sure about this. I think I'd be lost as I dont 'do' backgrounds only pixie powder and I think this deserves to be used in far many ways than I could do justice, it would be totally wasted on me Sue so please let's give 1 extra crafter the chance they hope for. Sorry Sue. Looking forward to your next treat for us xxx
Hello
What a neat die! It would be so useful. Fantastic card, liking the blue poinsettias. Just great.
