I recently ordered some distress embossing glazes, then I ordered more!  They are so much fun and perfect for the new "A Blog Named Hero" Embossing Challenge!  They work a lot like regular embossing powders but are translucent.

Stencils, Sprays and Embossing Glaze!--A Blog Named Hero "Combining Old With New" Inspiration

Howdy & Happy Fourth if you live in US:),

Hope you are doing well and staying safe!  We all can use some encouragement right now, so thought this would make a friend's day!  The current A Blog Named Hero challenge theme is "Combine Old With New.  The HA Waves stencil is "old" and the sentiment is from the May 2020 My Monthly Hero kit.  I also used some "new" embossing glaze for the sentiment and the charm.

Here are two associated tutorials:  The supplies will be linked below for both:)

Basically, I just blended out distress inks, laid the stencil on top and misted generously with shimmer spray.  I diecut the panel with a HA rounded rectangle die.  I heat embossed the sentiment and diecut with a small HA postage infinity die.  I applied Distress Collage medium to the bead, added the embossing glaze and heat embossed it.  I attached to a paper ribbon and tried not to embellish any further;)  Sometimes one has to know when to hold'em when it comes to embellishments!

Here are most of the supplies I used:
