The Greeting Farm Holiday Blog Hop!!

****Check out my post HERE for Scor-Pal blog candy to be given away tomorrow!****
What a fun evening that is in store tonight!! The Greeting Farm is having an ALL-CUSTOMER BLOG HOP starting at 7pm CST. If you have happened upon my blog, you can find the official blog hop listing here on the Club Anya blog. There is also a lot of chatter going on at Papercraft Planet on the Greeting Farm Page. Come on over and join in the chat!
The requirements for the cards/projects for the blog hop~A Holiday theme using Anya or Ian stamps.
Since I live in Florida, and the temperatures around the holidays are usually warm....I decided a Christmas card with a tropical flair was in order!! I pulled out my all time favorite Anya stamp, Mermaid Anya, and went to work on my card. She is colored with Copics in the traditional holiday colors and cut out. Just a few touches of white liquid pearls on her fin and in her hair. The beach/sand is DP that was torn, sponged and layered. The water is another piece of DP. You cannot have a tropical Holiday without a palm tree that is decorated with ornaments, right??! The ornaments are punched from red glitter paper.
