What is Ranger Distress Embossing Glaze?
Ranger Distress Embossing Glaze is a translucent embossing powder designed to create a stained glass-like finish on your projects. It’s part of the larger Ranger Distress line, known for its ability to give projects an aged, vintage look. The glaze comes in a variety of colors, each formulated to give your artwork a luminous, dimensional finish while still allowing the vibrancy of the color to show through.
How to Use It?
Using our Ranger Distress Embossing Glaze is generally straightforward, but also adds an element of fun to the crafting process. Here’s a basic guide:
- Stamp Your Design: Start by stamping your design with our Wow! Clear Embossing Ink Pad. This ink pad is ultra slow drying, designed to stay tacky longer, giving you ample time to apply the glaze.
- Apply the Glaze: Sprinkle the embossing glaze over your stamped design. Tap off the excess back into the jar; the glaze will only stick to the inked areas.
- Heat It Up: Using our Heat It Craft Tool, gently heat the glaze until it melts and rises. The transformation is mesmerizing – watch as the powder come to life as it turns into a smooth, shiny glaze!
Creative Techniques and Tips
- Layering Colors: One of the beauties of Ranger Distress Embossing Glaze is its translucency. By layering different colors, you can create custom shades and depth in your designs. Just ensure the first layer is completely cool before applying the next.
- Mix with Other Mediums: Mix embossing glazes with other elements from the Ranger Distress line, like inks and sprays, to expand your creative palette. The glazes are formulated to work seamlessly with other products, allowing for endless experimentation.
- Texture Magic: For added texture, sprinkle the glaze more heavily in certain areas. You can also incorporate using a stencil, to create raised patterns and designs.
Project Ideas
- Customized Cards: Elevate your greeting cards by adding a glaze finish to stamped images or backgrounds. The added shine and texture will make your cards stand out.
- Scrapbook Accents: Use the glaze to highlight key elements in your scrapbook pages, such as titles, borders, or special photos, for a memorable shimmer.
- Decorative Tags: Transform ordinary gift tags into miniature works of art with a touch of embossing glaze. They make great bookmarks, too!
