Tim Holtz Distress Embossing Glaze is a translucent, heat-set powder that, when applied to a surface and heated, creates a slightly textured, semi-transparent glazing effect. It's ideal for adding dimension and subtle color to various projects, including card making, mixed media art, and more. Unlike traditional embossing powders, which are opaque, Distress Glaze allows the underlying design to peek through, creating a layered look.
