My congratulations to the Featured Stamper this week, Cindy Farina - keyword FS885. I was enchanted throughout my review of her gallery and had a real problem deciding which of her cards was my favorite.
I finally selected Easter Card by Cindy Farina at Splitcoaststampers to case for the Challenge because it had jumped out at me from the overview thumbnail - and this meant I could use somewhat neglected supplies.
I liked her colors so mine are similar, and my stamp required her same orientation. I did use different stamps and fewer embellishments.
I have a label on this EF: For Best Results use larger-than-A2 then trim, so I did that (thank goodness).
The front sentiment was punched but seemed to vanish into the background. I remembered I have a die to outline the punched shape so I unearthed that and like the outcome.

That same embossing folder you both used for the framing of your pretty crosses is so lovely.
