More Criss Cross cards.

I have been quite busy lately so haven't had much time for making cards. The time that I have managed to find to craft has been spent making more of these Criss Cross cards. They are so easy to make and the results are great. I hope you are all having a great weekend, it is really mild here in Devon which is a nice change from the cold weather we have been having of late.

For this card I tried to steer away from my usual colour schemes. I decided to try the Purple and green and when the card was finished was pleased with how they looked. All the flowers I used are Primas that I bought in America from a place called Micheals. The stamps are both by Penny Black. Buttons and papers are from my stash.

The little clips at the top are by Making Memories

Hope you all have a great weekend

Happy Halloween...

Good morning everyone, Happy Halloween to you all. Hope the sun is shinning where you are today. In devon it is bright and sunny but quite cold. Well enough with the weather outlook lol. This is a card I have made for my son to give to a little girl from his class. She is 8 today and she is having a birthday / Halloween party today. So I thought I would make her a spooky card! I have used stickles around the spider and on the little dog but it doesn't show in the pic.
