Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Blog Hop

Use Your Stash Theme!

Welcome to our Saturday Blog Hop at Create With Stamping Friends.  Take a look around your stamp room, craft room or studio. Do you see some unfinished projects or pieces? I’m sure we all do. This week’s theme for our blog hop is “Use Your Stash”!

Quite a few months ago, I showed members of my Facebook group different ways to use the Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder. All of the samples I showed them have been sitting on my counter unused, so that’s what I’m using today. For the embossed layer, I used the embossing folder and then added ink color to the embossed “bumps” with a Mini Blending Brush. You’ll see Pecan Pie, Fresh Freesia and Soft Sea Foam Inks. Once all of the ink color had been applied, I added Clear Wink Of Stella over the petals that you can see in these photos below:
