AH 374 - Criss Cross Card

Welcome to Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #374!

I stayed true to the sketch except that the side of my triangles come to the top of my card since I decided to create a standard cross cross card for this challenge. 

I used papers and colours from the Stitched Together paper pack. The large floral pattern is 

one that I love. 

An old stamp set, A Budding Friendship, has recently been brought back by Close To My Heart for the Brushed campaign. I still have my original one as I really like the sentiments and flowers in that set. I used the small flower and I chose to stamp just the outline instead of stamping the inside (two step option) because I wanted to colour the inside of each flower. I heat embossed them after stamping with Sapphire pigment ink. The leaves were heat embossed after stamping with Fern pigment ink. The card came together quickly as a criss cross card is easy to make. I decorated both the outside and the inside with the stamped flowers and leaves. A glitter gem was placed in the centre of the flowers that show. A background stamp was used on the insert, just to highlight the paper a bit. A small piece of red ribbon was attached at the top to allow the insert to be easily slid out of the card.
