Criss Cross Card

I made this criss cross card for this week's challenge at Karen's Doodles. The image I used is called Pony Love. The colors I decided to use are citrus teal, mediterranean and brown. The pattern that I did on the front of my card is embossing using the perfectly paisley cricute embossing folder. For the band around my card I punched a heart border using a border punch from Martha Stewart Crafts and then added a light teal and brown stripped ribbon to the top of it and finished it off with a white paper rose. I then added 3 white pearls to the top of the card front and added stitching using a teal pen around the picture. I punched the sentiment out using a 1 3/8" circle punch and backed it in both the citrus teal and brown cardstock. Then added it to the top left corner of the card insert. I then punched a 2" scalloped circle out of mediterranean cardstock anad added it to the back side of the card insert allowing just the top to peak up over the sentiment. Then to finish off the insert I added some faux stitching using a teal pen and then added a strip of the light brown and teal ribbon to the bottom of the insert.
