Criss Cross Card

Good Afternoon all
Just got back from Guadamar (a town near us) with John and Mothers.  Golly, it,s hard work pushing a wheelchair, I had to leave them on the promonade and walk back to get the car as it was up hill and there was no way I was going to push the chair up them there hills.

On to todays card, it is one I have seen afew times and thought it looked really nice.  The demo I saw was from Card Making Magic.com and Christina taped it closed but I thought it would be nice left so that you could stand it up, or tie a ribbon round etc.  There are loads of possibilities of how to finish it off.
The base card is a lovley shade of brown with faux stitching round the edges with Promarkers fine tipped black pen (hard to see).
I put a silver tag on the band that goes round the card along with checked ribbon.  The flowers are made using my new Marrianne flowers dies with pearls and gems inside. The flowers are cut from some handmade paperthat was given to me and thought it would make lovely flowers). Paper from a new pad of Forever Friends 6 x 6 pad (part of a stash sent to me for having the STAR letter printed in Docrafts Creativity  Magazine last month).  The inside card is just 2 pieces from my stash with a peeloff sentiment added and lace stuck underneath it (you cant see it very well on the pic)Again sorry

I will definately be trying this style again and in many different ways too.

I am entering this into -
