My sad attempt at a criss-cross card.

So today I had some lovely down time and decided to spend a few hours stamping this afternoon.  I couldn't figure out what to work on, so I decided to try something new.  I remembered that Stephanie had made this super cute criss-cross card a few weeks ago, (see her version of the card here) so I decided I would try and duplicate it.  Let me just say, it took me forever.  I originally tried to duplicate what she made, but I don't have a ton of materials so trying to find a stamp to go on the front took me forever.  I finally decided to scrap it and start over, and ended up making the second version of the criss-cross card.  I used this tutorial (Stamping with Roxy) and you can see she didn't spend any time going over how to make the second version of it, so it took a lot of improv.  Needless to say I'm finally finished and sorta-kinda happy with the result.  Now that I have the hang of it, I'm going to duplicate it and make a few, so hopefully it should be easier.  Anyways, enough babble... here's some pics.  (Click on the thumbnail for larger pic) 

  

Let me know what you think!  Have a great rest of the day!
