Hi everyone. A couple of days ago, my friend Christine came over to have a play with Distress Embossing Glazes. Both of us had bought several of them 2-3 years ago and only used them once. Here is a link to Christine's post for today with her card she made at our play day! It's beautiful!!
We had a fun time playing, chatting and eating. :) We had a few challenges using the Glazes, but we are both happy with how our cards turned out.
I love the vibrancy of the rainbow card above, inspired by Jennifer McGuire's video on Distress Embossing Glazes. Once I was finished blending DOX inks, stenciling leaves and adding different colours of Glazes, I splattered with water and then splattered again with diluted white paint. I used a lovely, large die-cut sentiment that I received from a dear stamping friend many years ago. :) I have to say that I LOVE rainbow cards and I need to make them more often ... they are so happy! :)
I'm sending the above card to the May Stencil Fun Challenge - Flowers. I didn't use the optional theme this time. :)

WOW!!! Love your rainbow blended DOX Inked background and your stenciled EB Glazed leaves in 5 different colors. You have taken the EB Glazes to an awesome creative level, Lolly!! Ever since you gifted me with the glazes on my 75th special birthday 3 1/2 years ago they are the only EB powders I ever use except for clear EB powders...I now have 17 colors:-) But I don't think I have used with my stencils...you did it again...have me totally inspired, my friend:-) Thank you so much for sharing. I am off to check out Christine's creations:-) Love and Hugs...Nancy
P.S. LOVE your large HELLO too:-) Hugs..
I agree, a Happy and colourful card.
WOW how vibrant this! I too love rainbow cards and this one fits the bill. Beautiful color blending and the white lettering just pops!
Loll, that was such a fun day and great to pull out those glazes. I love, love, love your stenciling with the beautiful blended background ♥
This is just wonderful. I love everything about it, from the bold colours and soft embossing to the dramatic sentiment and wonderful splatters. Lucky you to be able to get together in person. Such a treat xx
Wowie, this is gorgeous and it really shows off your distress glazes. The leaves and rainbow colors are fantastic. Every time I blend a rainbow I enjoy it so much and vow I'm going to do more. Then I get onto something else, sigh. Your day with Christine sounds so good!
Absolutely beautiful, Loll. Love the rainbow effect of the inking, and the glazes are stunning. Sure wish I'd been there for that crafting day!
What a beautiful bright card with all the pretty leaves Loll, and the glazes show up brilliantly. I love the large 'hello' too, a great contrast in white. x
WOW!!! What bright and beautiful colors - full of wonderfulness!

The glazes make the colors so much more brilliant. This is just gorgeous and another thing to try. I'm glad you and Christine got together for a fun day. I will go watch Jennifer's video.
I just came from Christine's blog. Sounds (and looks!) like you two had a great crafty day! This is bright, happy and as pretty as it can be!
I'm glad you had a friend to encourage you to get the glazes out, Loll. The brilliance of this card is amazing.
Love these beautiful bright colors, Lolly! The glazed leaves are a wonderful contrast! Looks like you and Christine had a fun play date!
Oh those colors are so vibrant, loving the stenciled leaves too. Gorgeous card Loll. Off to look at Christines.
Bold bright and beautiful Loll.

Bright, cheery, and definitely a day brightener for the recipient! This card is awesome in its boldness
This is truly a HAPPY card, I agree I love rainbows too... Lovely work with the stencil and glazes, the colourful background is prefect for the large sentiment. Enjoy your day Robyn
Rainbows, bright colors really are happy and make happy, festive cards. Love this one Loll, the colors are so vibrant and gorgeous looking as well as happy/cheerful! Love the leaves and love the huge hello, pops right off all that color so beautifully. Glad you ladies had a great play date! Hugs, Brenda
Stunning colors and the glaze causes the colors to change a bit but still stay the same tone. Great card, so happy and energetic.
