scratching with layers

[Former_Member]

Hi all,

I'm new to all this and after a bit of advice from all you experts! I'm finding when I layer stamping blanks (i.e a small heart on top of a large heart for a necklace) that the small heart is leaving scratches on the large heart and I'm also finding the same with birthstone drops- they are leaving a scratch where they sit on the jewellery. Does anyone else find this? Do you have any tips? Many thanks for your time.

Leaving them shiny the scratches show up more than if you were to give them a matte finish. I only do matte finishing because of this:)

I also found that stainless scratches easily. How do I make a matte finish? Thanks

You can use a sanding sponge to give a brushed finish.You can get them at any store that carries home improvement stuff. I use a nail buffing block.
