My First Criss-Cross!

Hello, hope you're all having a good weekend, as rubbish as the weather is at the moment, the plus side of it has to be staying indoors to craft!
I was inspired to make today's card having received the most beautiful card, this week, from the amazingly talented Teresa, I loved the shape of it, and as such thought it high time I had a go at a criss-cross. Ok, so I'm not in the same league, but I was pleased with the way it turned out.
 
This will be a Mothers Day card for my kids to send to their Grandma, she has a thing for cute wild creatures, so for her Hedgie is always a great choice.
The image is coloured with promarkers and a little added ice crystal stickles, and cut out with Go Kreate dies, and a gorgeous doily die. The papers are "Blooming Rose from Joycraft, and together with the "Sugar and Spice" Hobby House pearls, came from J &C Creations. Ribbon from The Range. The blooms are from Mulberry crafts and I thought it would be a different touch to secure then with a large brad.  
The sentiment is my own, using Times New Roman and Alex Brush font.

I have added a small detail shot to show the lovely glitteryness of the paper and the blooms.

I would like to enter this into:

    This is beautiful Lisa. Well done on your first criss cross card. I keep thinking I should have a go at one of these. I am sure you are enjoying your new work hours with plenty of crafting. I have just changed my hours, I am now working 3 slightly longer days instead of 5 days and love it. Tinaxx

    I've admired Teresa's Criss Cross cards for some time too... I should take the plunge and try one, especially if it can come out as nicely as this :-) Love your image, too cute, and the brad is a great idea. Thanks for joining in the Tic Tac Toe challenge at Di's Digi Designs Good luck and hope to see you in the next challenge too, Donna ♥
