Just Because Criss Cross Card Using Art By Miran Fairy Lily

GDT for Artbymiran Showcase Blog - Using Artbymiran Fairy Lily

Hello friends.  I am very excited to be chosen as a GDT for Art By Miran Showcase blog; for the month of January.  It is such a pleasure to use Art By Miran images.  She is so talented and her images bring lots of joy to those who use them; as well as those who receive them.   I used the gorgeous Artbymiran Fairy Lily.  I decided to try a card base that I have never used before; so here it is.


This is my first Criss Cross card and it was really fun to create.  I used 2 - 6 x 12 cardstock for the two layers; but you can make it with other sizes as well.  Click here for Criss Cross tutorial that I just found for you; using the same size card I used.  Click here for a smaller version of this card created by Splitcoaststampers.   

My pictures didn't take as well as I would have liked. The purples and lavender colors are gorgeous in person; but they aren't as vibrant in the pictures.  I did use both my camera as well as my Iphone; but neither one captures the perfect colors.  The blond is actually a lot lighter and less bold in person.  LOL!  Oh well; we do the best we can.  I hope you enjoy my card.
