Art Deco Fan Background

Hello crafters!  Welcome to the September Die release Blog Launch.  The theme is Art Deco this month.  I have been wanting to do some Art Deco themed dies for some time now and here they are!!  I love these because they work so well for either male or female cards, but you can use pretty jewel tones on them either way!  We are giving away one full set of the collection which includes ten dies.  Yu just need to leave a comment on the posts of the blog in order to be entered into the drawing to win them.  You may leave one comment on each of the ten posts, but please only one per post.  I will do the drawing and announce the winner on the morning of Sept 20th.  Please make sure to sign your comment with a name that is unique to yourself, add an initial or the city where you live, just some way to differentiate your name from someone with the same first name.
We are starting out with this lovely Art Deco Fan Background..  This background can be used in a number of ways, consider cutting it into thinner strips to use, or even using glitters to give it a stained glass look as I have done here.  You will see it used in various ways in the coming weeks and months.  Just leave your comment on this post and I will return at noon with the next post.  All for now, Sue x

Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, oh WOW what a way to begin this new collection, Art Deco what a fantastic idea, love the colour ways that you have used, it sings Art Deco. Hopefully you will see more comments coming in for this collection. Good Luck to everyone who comments. It is always worth looking every day especially going forward when the release is finished, as Sue makes at least 4 or 5 different samples using her dies.

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