Playing With Distress Embossing Glaze: A Blog Named Hero "Hugs From A Distance" Challenge Inspiration

Hello!

It's not too late to enter this "A Blog Named Hero" monthly challenge "Hugs From A Distance!"  This time I used an older Hero Arts Flower Stencil and Distress Embossing Glaze for an "artzy" look!  The supplies I used are linked below (afil-thank you!)

I am a bit behind on my video tutorials, but one that includes this will be up soon, I hope!  It was really easy and fun!  Update:  Here's the tutorial! https://youtu.be/ziismNyHkQs

I white heat-embossed the word background on white cardstock, then laid my stencil over top and pounced Versamark clear ink on top.  I pulled off the stencil and heat-embossed again with the Distress embossing glaze.

Then I covered the entire front with gray dye in to make the words pop.  Gently, wipe off excess over embossing with a paper towel.
Next, I just used an infinity die to cut out the piece and layered over a white card base.

Finally, I white heat-embossed the sentiment (from a Hero Arts previous kit) on gray card cut with a die from that same kit.  I cut out several white strips from scrap and stacked beneath the sentiment for added dimension.   

I placed a few Hero Arts pearls (retired) for a little added interest, but not so much as to take away fromI the background! 

Here are the supplies I used:  Way below is the supply list to the "6 Fun Stencil Techniques You've Gotta Try!"

Take care everyone and come back soon!
