Gothic Tapestry Distress Embossing Glaze Resist

For this card, made for the Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Halloween 2022 release, I wanted to try an embossing resist technique with Distress Embossing Glazes that would leave background stamping protected under the image. I had such a great time trying to figure out how to get this to work and to look good.

 I left my mistakes in the video tutorial so you could see what I did wrong and my learning process as I experimented. It is a little long, but I hope you find my struggles to be helpful in keeping you from doing the same.


 
 


I hope you are inspired to try this technique. You are going to be amazed at how using the Embossing Glazes instead of just the clear Embossing Powder makes a big difference.
Have a crafty day!

Beautiful thank you

Could you clarify something for me please? When you first began stamping the text with Pumice Stone, right after you seasoned the stamp with Archival, was the Pumice Stone also Archival? I couldn't see what it was. Since you used so much liquid on it later, I figured it must be some kind of permanent ink. I'm kind of new to this. Thanks! I'm glad I found your channel.

Hi Teresa, it was just Distress Ink in Pumice Stone. I wanted the text to wick or wash away in all areas but the part captured by the Embossing Glaze so that when I ironed it off, the text would be left in just the stamped areas.
