Criss cross card

When I saw this type of card as a challenge on Birthday Sundaes, I knew I wanted to try it.  I missed the challenge with all the birthday activities over the weekend and only was able to get the card half done but I finished it yesterday during naptime and do love the way it turned out. 

I did it a little differently, I didn't put the band across the outer part, I couldn't get it to look right with the gems I did down the center, so I left it off but I still think it looks pretty good!

The pieces of the card and base were all cut using my paper trimmer, the flower and tag on inside card are from CTMH Art Philosophy.  The hemp and sentiment stamp are both from CTMH.  The print paper is from DCWV 'The Green Stack' and the cardstock is all from my stash.  The gems I attached using my i rock.


I'm entering this into the Made It Myself Mondays Weekly Linking Party at You Had Me At Craft!

Have a great Tuesday!
