Challenge 4

Well, didn't this challenge stir up some controversy? I have to say, I freaked out when I first read it and, to be perfectly honest, I really struggled to create my two Artist Trading Cards.

Here's our preview:

And here are my cards -


For both of my cards I used my Be Mine, Valentine and add-on, which will be available soon ;) I found I enjoyed creating Jane's card more than the first one and I really like how it has turned out. I hope she does too :)

I'll let Jane post her cards and tell you about them if she wants to. so, until Challenge 5, bye!
