Get Well Criss Cross Card

I was inspired by Lisa Smith's tutorial on Just Some Lines Challenge blog to make a Criss Cross Card. I didnt have any premade card blanks that were the right size for what I wanted to so I just made two 5x5 cards and then followed her directions from there. I used this gorgeous nurse image from Greeting farm that my sis EO colored for me and the scallop mat is from Susie Sugar xoxoxo. The papers are all from the same pack, Basic Grey Infused. My mom just recently suffered a minor stroke, shes okay but I wanted to send her a card. I liked the idea of this one because the inside "tag" is so big that all six of us here in Tennessee can sign it and send it on to Kentucky for her.
I am entering this into clean and simple challenges because even though it looks busy, there are no embellishments on it, just a little bit of ribbon.
Challenges:
Just Some Lines: clean and simple
Chocolate, Coffee & Cards: anything goes (cards only)
Totally Gorjuss: sweet and simple
Sweet Stampin: scallops
Card Crafters Circle: construction cards
Crafty Ribbons: clean and simple
