Advent Calendar Extravaganza with Taheerah Atchia
December 1, 2016
Hi everyone!
Technique Tuesday here! We are thrilled to be joining paper crafter Taheerah Atchia today with the 2016 Advent Calendar Extravaganza and to help sponsor the event!
What's the Advent Calendar Extravaganza? Well, here are a few words from Taheerah!

Joining in the fun with Taheerah are ONE HUNDRED special guests - each serving up some fantastic Christmas inspiration!

In honor of the event, we've got a card to share with you!
We created this card with the Taller Than Trees steel dies and Planner - Holiday clear stamp set. To make the trees stand out, we sponged ink on them and then decorated one of the trees with twine and enamel dots. Such a simple and fun way to add some festivity!
Be sure to swing by Taheerah's blog today! There's a prize up for grabs. You have until 23:59 EST on Dec. 31st, 2016, to enter.
And don’t forget Advent Calendar Extravaganza runs from December 1st to 25th so make sure you visit taheerah-atchia.com every day for fabulous inspiration and amazing prizes every single time! Merry Christmas!
Love the twine garland on the tree!

This one is totally fun! What is that little bit of something under the line of trees. Is it chunky glitter? It almost looks like seed beeds! Thanks so much for the fun card and for offering a cool prize too!
