DISTRESS EMBOSSING GLAZE TECHNIQUES

 The Distress Embossing Glazes are a whole new ball game in the world of embossing powders. They are translucent which means anything you have underneath it will show through. They also blend beautifully together when using the "pinch" method of applying the powders. Tim's video's on the glazes will give you the best run-down on all of the various techniques you can do with them. I've only touched on a few for my class this fortnight.

"Bloom"
(Cracked Pistachio Glaze on top of a stencilled
 leaf design using opaque texture paste. I didn't
wait for the paste to dry, just heat set while wet
which will give you even more texture.) 

"Collect moments"
(This is made using the Pinch method of applying
the embossing glazes in various colours which
closely match the inked areas underneath. Stark
black die-cuts really pop against this background.)


"Organically grown"
(To colour the cacti I used a Distress Embossing Pen

then applied the embossing glazes to give the
stamped images their colour.)


"Simplicity"
(The Distress Embossing Pen was used again to
colour in the die-cut shapes and again coloured
with two colours of embossing glazes. The 
co-ordinating stamps were also embossed with
the glaze on this background as well.)

"Choose to shine"

(A simple atc using the embossing glazes to
create a subtle design on the background
without detracting from the focal image.)

"To the moon"
(Stamping and embossing with Villainous Potion
glaze creates extra interest to these moon phase
stamps. The little rocket charm just finishes it off.)



"Love you"
(This is a card that I made using both the Distress

Crayons and the Distress Embossing Glazes.
 The rainbow atc was made using the Crayons. 

and the two men die cuts were from
a piece of cardstock that was coloured with the
embossing glazes so they are shiny, compared

to the matte finish of the crayons.)
