HANNA RETRO SUMMER: Bridal Hanna

So when I heard that we would be having this set make a comeback this summer as a retro set -- I immediately went online in search of what colors were fresh and new for 2009 and I came across this color combination and knew I immediately had to try it out. It is groovy guava and really rust. I absolutely love how they ended up looking together -- very monochromatic. Super nice. I colored the prima flowers to match the colors of paper using my copic markers. Also, it is really hard to see in this photo, but I added a little diamond stickles to her dress here and there to add a little glamor.

HANNA PREVIEW: For the Soul

This set is totally cool! I have not seen anything like it! I think it is perfect for a sympathy card, a thinking of you, a little hand out at church, maybe even for cards at Easter (thinking ahead here) etc. It is so CUTE! Hanna looks so angelic and well, to be completely honest, reminds me of my little sister (not sure why). I used the sketch at Card Positioning Systems (#83) for the layout. I was going for a "touched by an angel" look on the main image (and I think I kind of created that.) I used vellum to overlay the image to give it that glossy fuzz (soft focus).
