To start at the beginning or if you encounter a broken link in the hop, here is a full list of all the stops on the hop:

I stamped my holly leaves in two corners of a smaller panel and then did gold heat embossing for the sentiment and sides of my panel. While doing this, my ink was not fully dried on the stamped leaves. I did dust off excess powder with a dry brush, but loved that some bits remained stuck and they are giving these leaves a grunge-y – gold shine. #serendipity!

Here are the main products I used, all from @simonsaysstamp
– Holly Berries stamp set
– Stitched rectangles die set
– Fine Details Gold embossing powder
– Clear ink
– Green Apple ink

Thanks!
