September Blog Hop! Final Stop...

Hi Stampers! Today is September 1st -- Release Day on www.techniquejunkies.com -- which means it is also HOP day.  Today the entire Technique Junkies Design Team has put together a wonderful Holiday Hop to showcase the 15 new September stamps.  I hope you have had a chance to go through the hop. If you arrived here from Kathy Stacy's Blog, you are in the right place. If THIS is your first stop, take a moment to go back to the beginning - you will NOT want to miss this artwork!!

After the hop, make sure to go shop -- all 15 of the Sepember release stamps are 15% off until September 8th!

Now for the final piece in the hop:

For my piece, I used the Draped Christmas background stamp.  In order to get the multiple layers of draping, I simply stamped the stamp in VersaMark, then embossed it,  then moved the stamp over slightly and stamped/embossed again in another color.  I love how it turned out!  The Happy New Year stamp is also new -- a great way to ring in the new year. (Seems like a way off in 90degree weather -- but it will be here before you know it!)

I hope you were inspired by the hop. Remember that the 15 newly released stamps are all 15% off until September 8th.  Thanks for visiting with us today!
