It's A Good Day... - Magnolia-licious 'Summer Fun Days'

Hello!

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.
