Retail Therapy for Anya!

Evening peeps!
Thought it was about time I pulled my finger out and posted something. This is a card I was asked to make for an 18th birthday. The guidelines were a little stricter than usual so I haven't really warmed to the design. I do love the images but not so thrilled with the layout. I seemed to have used this collection of papers by MME for a lot of designs lately and maybe that's the problem. Anyway I did enjoy colouring Anya so not all bad.

Altered Anya Challenge

Phew!! This was all a bit last minute. Just managed to get this card finished in time to enter it into the Quixotic Challenge. Am full of cold so not working as quickly as normal but still really enjoyed creating this one. The challenge was to alter a Greetings Farm character - Anya or friends. I chose to use 80's Anya but I masked her face off before stamping and then used a light box to draw in the features from Dahlia. Thought she need funky colours so I used the Papermania Spring Burst pack of DP's.

I am entering this card into the following challenge:
