    Hi first time here. I loved your background video which I watched today and I loved the end results with the gold gilding wax on the butterflies. I loved all the colours you used for the background piece and adding the gold was fabulous. I hope whoever was the recipient of the card loves the card as much as I do 😊. 🇨🇦

    Another beautiful card. When I use cling film on Brusho and similar backgrounds, I always dry them upside down with the cling film side down as they dry quicker.

    I feel silly telling you something - I am just a rookie, but I have learned that if you remove the release paper from the back of foam tape, you can mold it around circles very easily.

    • @Chrissieannie
      @Chrissieannie  2 месяца назад +1

      I get in the most almighty sticky mess doing that and often end up with tucks and lumps in the tape. The best way for me to put DST around a circle is to snip it partway through and then just curve it round the arcs!

    As I sat with my morning coffee to watch your video I burst out laughing - because I pulled out my powders earlier this week. It wasn't as neat and tidy as your session - and I needed to use paper towel to mop up the excess. Then I decided to adhere the saturated towel to card stock - except I forgot that it was 2 ply paper ... So it separated. Anyway I'm off to grab some cling film. Lol I'd have to buy spray starch. I DO love your idea of an aperture card.

    This is a great technique and I think I have some spray starch so will give this a try, and I love the white leafy aperture which shows it off beautifully. I hope you have not given up entirely on your blog as I see you haven't added anything since November, and I hate to think of another blog disappearing as you are such a clever and innovative lady and personally I don't look at Facebook or RUclips all the time so am inclined to miss the lovely things that you do, even if you only post on your blog occasionally it would be great!

    Just wondering if the cardstock makes a difference? I tried your technique using the exact same spray starch (Dylon) on 120lb Accent card stock. It immediately soaked into the c/s and when I added the Nuvo Shimmer Powders, they just sat on the c/s. There was zero moisture from the spray to allow the powders to spread even once the cling wrap was applied. Should I be using a glossy c/s? Or a watercolour c/s? Thanks Christine.
