Here are a couple of the cards I'm submitting for the challenges;

Back to School

Using TGF's own Anya stamp, I added Stampin' Up ribbon, buttons, an apple stamp, as well as flowers I've watercoloured to embellish this card. The red polka-dotted paper used is from TGF's Anyaversary paper pack. Also, I just HAD to add a little chalkboard! I wrote 'Back to School' in white pen on black cardstock and made a border I hoped would look like wood with Creamy Caramel cardstock.



















Javablu

For this card I used another TGF Anya stamp. The two you see are from the new stamp set called, 'Miss Anya Dressy'. They're so cute!

I used Stampin' Up Bashful Blue and Chocolate Chip paper for this card. I watercoloured another flower stamp for this one and paper pieced some of Anya's outfit to make her extra stylish! The sentiment is also from The Greeting Farm. It's from a new stamp set called, 'Hello Go Round'. I just love all the new stamps TGF is introducing. ;)

What do you think of these two cards? I'm trying really hard to improve my card making skills with every challenge I undertake. I appreciate your comments.

Hope you have a great day!
