Yay! It's Blog Hop Friday!

Yay!  It's Blog Hop Friday!  After so much inspiration this week, are you feeling a little etch-y?  Those of us at Stampendous have sure had fun and we hope you have too!  Armour Etch is a really cool product and, I know I said this yesterday, but, it's so easy to use!  Here's the official link to show you how simple it is!  I'm sure I'll buy more to create some gifts for Christmas. If you're interested, you can buy some, too, here!  For today I created a votive holder using Cling Zinnia and a glass holder I purchased at the Dollar Tree.  I had already stamped the image with VersaMark onto the glass and embossed it with Copper embossing powder when I realized it would be nice to have photos showing the process.  So, the next best thing is to start the photos from the point where I've stamped, embossed, and edged with Contact paper, here goes:

Embossed, edges sealed and ready to etch!

In the pan waiting for etching cream!

Applying the etching cream!

 A nice thick coat of etching cream and the time is set for 6 minutes!

Time to rinse off the etching cream and peel off the embossing powder to unveil the design!

Glass is etched in all the right places but the detail in the center of the flower was lost.

In order to fill in the center part of the flower, I added some Zip Dry adhesive and then added some fun glitters and mica fragments, all from Stampendous!

Here it is all lit up!  I think it's kinda pretty! 

So this is my project, now check out the inspiration from the rest of the team:
