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.
