Hanna Fans Blog HOP

Welcome everybody to the first Hanna Fans blog hop!!!!

So, if you want to join in on the hop start at Frances blog. If you are joining me from Miss-Awesome-Watercoloring Lorie's blog then you are on the right track. Your next stop will be Laurie's blog.

And if you get lost or find a broken link the entire hop list is located in the Hanna Stamps forum.

But now let's talk about cards. I had a bunch of ideas for this hop but with every idea I've had I ended up grapping a Riley or Sophie stamp .... :-) - just LOVE this cuties.

Here comes my Surprise-Sophie!!!

I have to admit that this was the first time she saw ink :-( . And I had so much fun coloring her. Isn't she a Sparkle-girl? I bought this yummy paper "Nana's kitchen" from DCWV at JoAnn's the other day and thought it will be perfect for Sophie. I add some stickles to the tiny cupcake and some crystal effects to the scale. The scallop circle just look like some ice scoops or cookies, don't you think? Well, if you are on a diet you may see some weird things ... (***grin***).

Thank you for joining the blog-hop today - with your help it will be a huge success!!!

Have a good night

Hugs Tanja

Good morning!

Since Kristi from Hanna stamps is retiring her "But I need it"-set I had to get me one of the last ones. 

And it cries for paper-piecing, right?

So, here we go! I paperpieced as much as possible. The rest of Hanna is colored with my SU markers. I drew the background by hand and colored it with my Aquapainter, some inkpads and good old german watercolor pencil from Faber-Castell. I have to firgure out how to improve my shading skills but I'm pleased with the result so far.

I've learnd from my friend Sandra that you'll have a crispier look of you watercolored image when you put it on a white mat.... so I tried it and it works! Go, check out her blog - you sure will learn something new!!!

Thank you for stopping by today - have a wonderful start in the weekend

Hugs Tanja
