Valentine's Day Napkin Rings - Stampers Anonymous

I enjoy setting the table for our Valentine's Day dinners. I purchased special vintage plates and tea cups that I use each year, but I'm always open to adding or making something new to change it up just a little bit too. So I thought I would make some napkin rings with the Stampers Anonymous Classics #8 stamp set. I made two styles using the same stamp but they look completely different.

Here is the link to my video tutorial.

The first style I made is a gilded, dramatic, Victorian style...

with a black metallic band. 

I think it looks great but once I got it made I realized it just wan't going to fit with my plates and tableware.

Regardless, I think this version is lovely!

The second attempt resulted in a softer, more vintage romance feeling and I LOVE it! This one will be perfect for my table setting.

The lighter, more subtle colors give this one such a different feeling,

And you can see so many more details in the stamp. Even with Super Fine Detail Embossing Powder, you still lose many of the details.

It really is such a lovely stamp!

 

Which version would work best on your table?
