Our current challenge at the Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog is 'Summer Fun Days'--we want to see summer-themed cards/projects. We're half way into the challenge, so you have another week to enter. Visit the Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog for complete challenge details and how you can join in the fun.
For my DT card, I've created this criss cross card.
I love this criss-cross style of cards. I should do more of them.
These adorable Magnolia images I'm featuring were coloured with markers--I used my Letraset Promarkers and Pantone Trias--and a few coloured pencils to help with the shading.
