I don't know why I struggle so hard to keep crisp, clean uncluttered lines. It seems to come so naturally to a lot of ya'll. This is the first time I have done this technique and this stamp did not wnt to cooperate. I coudn't quite get it right through the middle. But, Jean, this one's for you!

Oh, you are a good friend, Mary and ease up on yo'self, girl. This is gorgeous. The image you picked presented a challenge and you met it. Wow! Love the textures and the elegant richness of the black, gold, and white. You did good!
Thanks for playing. Come back on April 4-5 and play with the other girls.

This is GREAT! I love te gold paper behind it - and the cross not being cut right down the middle is ok - honestly, I probably won't have noticed if you hadn't pointed it out.

What a beautiful cross image...love the pretty scroll work in it. I think the halves look great...and the wrinkly, uneven piece of gold specialty paper is a perfect accent for the style of the cross. Awesome card. Thanks for sharing.

This is beautiful! I know what you mean about trying for the clean, crisp lines - I'm a straight line girl, myself. There's 12-step help for us, though, so don't lose hope (JK)! Really, this is gorgeous!
