Cross My Heart...


Tuesday Trigger- Cross My Heart
I re-discovered a roll of self-adhesive mesh which was popular in scrapbooking a few years back, and thought it would make a great template for re-creating cross stitching on my card.  The advantage of the mesh is that it is repositionable, removable, and you don't have to draw and erase your lines.  This card was inspired by this weeks Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger - Cross My Heart, the theme, the textures and of course the cross-stitching.
This may be my last Valentine's Day Card, for this year any way - Cross My Heart!!
