TGF Blog Hop

I'm so excited to be part of the 3rd annual Greeting Farm customer blog hop today.  If you did not come from a TGF link, be sure to catch the beginning here to see all the wonderful creations using amazing Greeting Farm images.  I chose to create a holiday ornament using their Chibi Alaska digital image.
I started with a clear glass ball ornament, removed the hanger top, drizzled a bit of floor wax into it and swirled it around, covering the insides completely, and drained out all excess. Then I sprinkled in some lime green extra fine glitter and shook it up to cover the whole inside surface. I tapped the excess out (unfortunately all over my floor and kitchen counter because I sneezed at the wrong time...) and replaced the hanger. To finish, I attached some plastic snowflake buttons and a Chibi Alaska image colored with Copics and highlighted with glitter. Then I added a printed ribbon bow and thin red ribbon as a hanger.  She is definately my favorite new ornament this year.
Thanks for joining in the hop today. Be sure to leave a comment on the TGF blog for a chance to win. In addition to the two Grand Prizes that will be drawn for the participants' creations, a random hopper will ALSO win the ENTIRE upcoming January Release! That's 6 sets in all- a HUGE prize...and the only way to win is by participating in the blog hop here!

    Looks very cute. I'm in the same boat you are, always sneezing at the wrong time. Usually when I have food in my mouth.

    Pretty, what a great idea! i don't have floor wax, how does that dry inside the ornament..it is so intriguing. Sounds like your floor is a pretty sparkly green too? :)
