Advent Calendar Extravaganza with Taheerah Atchia

I was super thrilled when the very talented Taheerah invited me to join 

her fun holiday event...

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 26 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 each day at Taheerah's blog to see what special surprises

await behind the door!

Today's sponsor is Hero Arts and there aren't enough superlatives to describe
this amazing company! Hero Arts stamps are the first that I owned, and I joined
their Flickr group back in 2008. It's where I met other stampers who shared the
love of Hero Arts, whose friendships continue to this day.

I created two cards using Hero Arts Origami Happy Holidays and thanks to the
Misti, I was able to stamp them identically, but color them completely different.

On the first card, I ink distressed several non traditional colors over the white 

embossed images, then used the same inks to do some messy watercoloring. 

Not a fan of messy? Then the second card's for you.

This time, I ink distressed over the entire card, spattered water and let it dry,
then spattered white ink over the surface. Both cards were finished off with the
holiday sentiment white embossed on a banner strip and clear sequins.
