Hi all and welcome to Advent
Calendar Extravaganza. This special hop was the brain child of Taheerah Atchia and
features surprise destinations each day! There are over 60 special guests – each
serving up some fantastic Christmas inspiration! Just like an Advent Calendar,
you’ll never know where you’re going to be visiting next until you ‘open the
door’!
And that’s not all! With 25 *amazing* sponsors taking part as well, your crafty wish list is bound to get a boost with a chance to win a prize EVERY SINGLE DAY!!
Join in the fun every day at taheerah-atchia.com to see what special surprises wait behind the door!
For my card today, I am showcasing The Ton Stamps who's also sponsoring today's event. I have made a card with a very similar design using this Holiday Flourishes set before. I just can't resist to repeat the design again with slight change here and there.
I love adding detail to solid stamped image. Here, on each leaf, I added some shading to create interest. Once I laid all the leaves, I added shimmer to the leaves and berry using Spectrum Noir Shimmer marker. Finished with various size sequins (I used Glass Slipper Sequins). To let the pretty layers on the card shine, I stick with CAS design.
Of course, to make any event fun, we need to include a prize, right? With this event, there's prizes every day & there are several chances to win!
