I have made a criss cross card today:
I do like making these I don't know why but they are easy and are a bit different from a normal fold card without being very complicated. I have used a Lili of the Valley image and coloured with Copics and Prisma pencils. The edge has been distressed with Milled Lavender DI and then cut and matted with Spellbinders Nesties. The papers are Nitwits "Gratitude" which is a really pretty set. The bird cage is a Spellbinders die and that has been inked with DI as well. The Baker's Twine and button are from my stash. The butterfly is a Magnolia Doohickey die and I have added Stickles to that and the image. Flowers, pin and ribbon from my stash. Here is a picture of the inside:
I have merged the tag from the Nitwit Gratitude collection onto the paper and added a computer generated sentiment. The heart is a Martha Stewart PATP. I would like to enter the following challenges:
Lili's Little Fairies - Ribbons Buttons and Bows
Crafty Sentiments - Spring Challenge
Die Cuttin Divas - Pastels and Die cut (Bird cage and Butterfly)
Digital Tuesday Challenge - Birthdays (I used Digital Papers by Nitwits)
Paper Minutes - Spring Flowers
Twisted Tuesday - I Never Promised you a Rose Garden
Bunny Zoe's - Ribbon or Twine
Love to Create - Birthday
My Grafico - Buttons and Bows

Well hopefully you will be seeing this post on Tuesday and I will catch up with you all when I get back, thanks for looking and take care xx
