Sanding Tutorial

Good saturday morning all! We have a treat for you all this morning. Since this is a beginner cuttlebug'er blog we are going to try to post more tutorials to help us all learn new techniques! Donna has a great sanding tutorial to share with you all! So I am going to turn this thing over to her and I wish you all a Scrappy Day!

This is one of my favorite things to do with an embossed image! I hope you all enjoy this tutorial.

For this technique you will need:

1) your Cuttlebug
2) an embossing folder
3) medium-fine grit sand paper
4) paper with a white core, white on the back, OR any variety of color-core paper (ie. Coredinations) that is made for embossing & sanding.

I used my Fleur di Lis embossing folder and both types of paper(white core & color core). This is how they look after they are embossed...looks good, but wait until they get sanded!

Begin sanding lightly in a circular motion, adding more pressure as desired. The more you sand, the more the image comes through!

This is the end result. The light green paper has a white core and the brown paper has a green core. I think they both look great!

Thanks,
Donna
