SURPRISE BLOG HOP!

Happy "hump" day and welcome to September 1st!  Can't believe we're in to September already!  Today, Tamiko's has a Surprise Blog Hop going on to introduce the new Greeting Farm releases.  This Surprise Blog Hop runs until Tuesday, September 7, 2010 ending at 11:59 PM HST.  ONE winner will be picked the following day.  What do you win?  Tamiko's blog hop candy will include a $10 gift certificate to be used at Tamiko's online store, AND, one choice of the new release rubber stamp from The Greeting Farm...either Sweet Anya or Oh Boy Ian (winner's choice!).  What do you need to do for a chance to win? Simply leave a comment on everyone's blog!  The blog candy is hidden on one of our blogs.  Easy peasy!  Today I would like to introduce Sweet Anya, and this is what I came up with:

I made a recessed window card (1/4" deep) using SU! pink pirouette for the base which is a 5.5" square, inserted a DP from the Memory Box Gossamer 6"x6" pack.  I used my Marianne Design Creatables ribbon border die and ran some pink ribbon through the slots with a small pearl ribbon slide in the center.  After coloring Sweet Anya with my Copics, I cut her out, mounted her on foam tape, and added a pink flat back heart pearl to her hairpin. To follow the brown stems in the DP, I added some brown leaf ribbon and a cherry blossom flower. 
If you came here from Michelle's blog, you are on the right trail.  If not, go back to the starting point here.   Your next stop is Tamiko's (Things of Joy). 
Thank you for stopping by and I hope you enjoy our Surprise Blog Hop.  Please come back tomorrow to see Tamiko's regular Thursday Teaser that the CT was asked to do a color challenge using pink/green/brown.  Have a wonderful day and happy crafting!
