would it be a good idea to cross breed a three-toed box turtle and an ornate box turtle to produce a hybrid of the species because I would think it would be beautiful but are there any risks that I should be aware of so that I don't do anything bad for them both?

It happened s in the wild all the time, though it is not encouraged in captivity.

I don't know of any specific dangers I just think it's a bad idea to do in captivity to encourage it
