Hi there Stampin’ Friends!
Did you have a nice Halloween? I was at a lovely wedding in Washington, DC. and am traveling home to NY today. It was the first time I missed celebrating Halloween with my family since my niece was born- that’s 19 Halloweens! I prepared this blog hop before I left New York, so I hope it goes off without a hitch.
The theme of this awesome blog hop each month is to showcase a rubbing stamping project twice- first in it’s “simple” form and then “stepped-up”.
So here is my interpretation of this concept. I resisted the Lighthearted Leaves set as long as I could, because I loved the Vintage Leaves bundle… but love this set too!
Just some simple sponging (I used hello honey and tangelo twist here for a soft multi-colored effect).
This time I decided to give it some bling and accessories- don’t you love how you can “dress up” a card, just like your wardrobe, with just a few simple touches. The gold sequin trim is the star here, don’t you agree? I also think stamping the sentiment from this set, in tangelo twist instead of momento tuxedo black ink, is more classy too.
What do you think? Which one do you prefer?
Don’t forget that the deadline to sign up for our Veteran’s Day Christmas Card Get-Together is this Tuesday- limited space is available.
Thank you so very much for visiting my blog today! Here is the link to the next demonstrator- please go visit Julie and see what awesomeness she has dreamed up for us!
Have a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by!

I can’t decide! I even flipped back and forth but love them both.
