The matching die makes a nice cut, preserving the arch shape, but cutting out enough of the background so that a piece of colored cardstock works for showing off this lovely spray of flowers.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I used an Essential Arch die to cut out the background, and the largest arch of the same set to cut my card base to make a shaped card. The stamp set has lots of different sentiments, 2 of which are arched, so I chose the Easter one and added it to the top. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The stencils of the month this time are 4 different background stencils: <a href="https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=981584&u=1239246&m=70661&urllink=spellbinderspaperarts%2Ecom%2Fproducts%2Fspring%2Dstencil%2Dbackgrounds%2Dstencil%2Dof%2Dthe%2Dmonth%3F%5Fpos%3D3%26%5Fsid%3D5b2022e49%26%5Fss%3Dr&afftrack=" target="_blank">Spring Stencil Backgrounds</a>.

The other thing that appeals to me is the many tiny dots in the background that pop out so that you can line the panel with another cardstock color, in this case a pale aqua. Maybe the only drawback to this design is that it's so packed full of detail that there's not much room for a sentiment! I chose a tiny strip for mine this time.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://heartshugsandflowers.blogspot.com/search?q=Petal+Pushers" target="_blank">HERE</a> is a blog post from last July when I first got this suite, that has 3 more cards using these elements.
