Criss- cross card

Hi all oh well never mind there's always next year Andy.
Here is today's card it's for the challenge over at
Just Magnolia. The challenge is to make a
Criss-cross card .
There's a fab tutorial for you to follow if like me
you haven't made one before.

I have also had a go at making the flower that's featured
in the latest issue of Magnolia Ink magazine.
I wanted to craft last night but didn't know what to do
then remembered this flower so i
had a play. It was fun, i really like the effect.

I have used stickles to add a bit of glitz and a few Martha Stewart
branch punched leaves.

I have used the new Tilda with peony as i thought it matched
the flower i made. I have coloured her with
polychromos pencils and sansador with paper stumps.
The DP is K&Company Mckenna paper pad.
I love these papers the are all fab.
I Stamped the image onto one of the new nellie's oval shapes,
edged it with deep scarlet polychromos pencil
and blended then put stickles on the top.
I used Martha Stewart's doily lace trim deep edge punch.
Ribbon bows, leaf pin and diamante gems.

Hope you all have a fab weekend and the
weather stays sunny.
