Make sure the stamp impression is deep and avoid getting fingerprints, so you don't need to sand very much! Thanks for your comment Sue! If you sand lightly you won't lose the detail.

This is the most informative site I've found for using polymer clay! I do have a question about the rose beads you made here. How do you finish them? Do you still sand them and then varnish them? I'm wondering about losing part of the detail that makes them so pretty if you sand them, but I love the smooth feel of sanded beads. What do you recommend? Thanks so much.
