Translucent embossing powder changes the dimensional game completely. Tim Holtz Distress Embossing Glaze melts into glass-like raised surfaces that catch light while letting underlying colors and textures show through, perfect for layering effects that standard opaque powders can't achieve. The translucency means you can build depth by embossing over stamped images, collaged papers, or painted surfaces without obscuring your base work.

Each powder coordinates with Distress ink colors, maintaining that signature weathered palette across techniques. The formulation melts smoothly with standard heat tools, creating consistent raised surfaces whether you're adding texture to mixed media pieces or building dimensional elements on cards. Use it with Distress Embossing Ink Pad for traditional stamping, the Embossing Dabber for selective application, or Embossing Pens for precise detail work.

One-ounce jars provide substantial coverage for multiple projects. The translucent quality makes these glazes particularly effective for vintage-style projects where you want dimension without heavy color saturation, or layered compositions where each embossed element adds texture while preserving the visual complexity beneath.
