Advent Calendar Extravaganza with Taheerah Atchia

Hello there!  Happy Friday!
Today I will be participating in my friend Taheerah’s Advent Calendar Extravaganza by sharing a card.
First, let me tell you about the Extravaganza! Here are a few words from Taheerah!
“Advent Calendar Extravaganza is -the- festive event of the season! This ‘hop with a twist’ was dreamed up by Taheerah and features surprise destinations each day! Joining in the fun with Taheerahare ONE HUNDRED special guests – each serving up some fantastic Christmas inspiration!

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!!”

And now, my card!!

I started off my card with a piece of Tim Holtz Distress watercolor paper.  I ink blended a lavender halo of color using Faded Lilac ink.  Then I diecut the paper with the largest die from the Small Dotted Rectangles die set.  I added a hill using the Simple Stitched Hillside borders die.  Then I stamped, colored and diecut images from Baaah Humbug, one of my favorite Lawn Fawn sets.  I popped everything up with foam tape, added a scattering of Mini Snowflakes and some white gel pen accents, and stamped a sentiment from the same set.  Finally, I popped the panel up on a white card base to finish the card.
