Good morning! I’m excited to be back for a second year as a guest of the Advent Calendar Extravaganza!
Advent Calendar Extravaganza is -the- festive event of the season! This ‘hop with a twist’ was dreamed up by Taheerah Atchia and features surprise destinations each day! Joining in the fun with Taheerah are ONE HUNDRED 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 guests 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 everyday at taheerah-atchia.com to see what special surprises await behind the door!
Today’s sponsor is one of my favorite crafting companies: Concord & 9th and I created my card with several of their stamp sets! I stamped the dotted border from Birdie Banners and the strings from Stripe Builder onto a piece of black cardstock and heat-embossed some with silver embossing powder and others with gold embossing powder. Then I stamped the ornaments and sentiment from O Christmas Tree onto the card and embossed them with the same gold and silver embossing powders. Next I added a layer of spectrum noir clear sparkle and glossy accents to the ornaments and let it dry overnight. Finally I splattered some gold metallic paint over the panel and adhered it to white card base. I like using non-traditional colors with pretty metallic elements! 😉
It’s not a party without a prize – and with prizes everyday there are several chances to win! Today’s prize is generously supplied by the fabulous Concord and 9th so you’ll definitely want to win!
