Crafty peeps (and Sasha)! If you don't have talcum powder/don't like the smell, use cornflour instead! Most talcum powders are exactly that, plus fragrance. I made my pastes some months ago with this recipe and cornflour, and it's exactly the same 👍 Thanks Sasha for sharing!
A really easy way to remember what colours will give you poo, is if they have all 3 prime colours, you will get poo. Eg red and green, although they compliment eachother, if mixed they make brown. I just have a cheap colour wheel on my wall over my desk, just a quick reminder, as we do have our dizzy moments! Thanks for sharing, I enjoyed the video ❤️
Every Saturday me and my roommate start the day out by cleaning house, then the house is all spotless smelling all pretty and clean then we pull our craft tables over and we start doing cards or tonight we’re going to actually do for paper pumpkins that we’ve had sitting there that we haven’t had time to do and that is my perfect version of a Saturday evening.
Oh wow, sounds great, I always leave cleaning until last, then it's overwhelming and depressing. Im terrible with tidying up :( I need a routine like yours!
I like to craft during the day as well. And how funny to hear you say that you and your husband watch crime scene drama/ mysteries on Saturday night, because that’s what me and my husband do as well. I loved learning how to make the textured glue. So ,urchin more affordable and less wasteful than buying from the stores. Thank you for sharing. Love your videos.
This video was SO much fun to watch! I may get brave enough to try this technique someday, but I doubt that I will end up with something as pretty as yours. When I paint, my colors always bleed together and make a muddy mess. Enjoy Home Alone, one of my all-time favorite movies.
I just watched this because my Facebook group is doing mixed media. I made texture paste with fine silver glitter and chunky white glitter while I watched you! Worked exactly how i wanted. Thank you so much!
You can use cornflour. It’s probably cheaper than baby powder, but it’s the main ingredient in baby powder since they no longer use talc. It doesn’t smell either
I had an old cracked dish that I wanted to decorate to plant cacti into. I mixed polyfiller with some paint and PVA glue, I added a little silver dust and mixed well until smooth. I put a layer of PVA glue onto the dish and let it dry then put my paste into the dish, making swirls and patterns. After that dried, ( two days). I put another layer of watered down paint on top. After thoroughly drying I varnished the whole dish and planted it up. My friend was so impressed that she put some money into a local charity if I gave it to her. It was fun and easy to make using really cheap materials but looked really effective.
I know i watched this later than when filmed but orange and blue, purple and orange, yellow and purple, green and orange, are the big colors that when mixed when wet make poo brown. I'm not a big mixed media person, although some mixtures are stunning ! One never knows what will work together or not. Love that you were brave and strove forward to try it. Craft on Sasha!
Omg I was laughing so hard about the Black Friday thing. I’ve always stayed away because you buy things you don’t need but you wouldn’t believe how many people head out to the stores at midnight for sales. It’s craaaaaazy. So funny
Don’t add water, that’s what makes it go mouldy. I use corn flour and a really cheap pva glue. Tonic glue is too good for this. I bought a litre bottle of pva glue from the works for £2 that I use just for making texture paste. I also make black texture paste using black acrylic paint for mixed media work. Love the projects xx
OOOOOOO i LOVE the idea of Black! YES!!!! lets do that next! Great tips on the mould avoiding, good thing i didnt add water! Corn flour is a great tip as well! Baby powder is a bit stinky. But ive got that whole thing from when the kids were born- never used it on them, but had it just in case. Now im using it up. Thanks so much for hanging out with me tonight
I wasn't sure where this card was headed, but the finished card is beautiful. I like the black you added to the background. Thanks for all the info on DIY stuff.
Ok -- masterpiece! There are any number of points where I would have said 'time to cut this up for multiple cards' -- but you just kept on going! Before the gems, I thought it looked Really Good -- but you do like your Bling. The final result is gorgeous -- the recipient should be amazed & astounded. Greetings from Florida.
Believe me there were several points where i was thinking, am i just making an ass of myself, is this good to be filming? But i had to keep going, had to see if i could make something of it, and i did, and it felt so rewarding at the end. And yes, ha ha i LOVE bling! Thank you so much for hanging out and chatting!
You are enchanting. You make the biggest messes, but your final cards are amazing. I certainly didn't think this was going to be usable, but in the end, absolutely worth the wait. Thank you !
Wow really enjoyed that yr card looks amazing. I have a tip for you . I know you love getting messy but what I use is plain and simple tile grout works the same way and you can add glitter and paint to add colour. I have that stencil that you used off alinacraft so I am going to have a go and I think I have decoupage butterfly tissue paper. Always love watching yr videos.. oh by the way . Tile grout a pound for a big tub. Also I love the woodwear stamps I have a few. I'm definitely going to have a play at mixed media as never done before. Have a great day 1🌹
You sure did a lot to that card. I like shine & glitter, so I'm with you. I love crime scene dramas & spy-assassin shows. Be kind to each other. Stay safe. Love to all
Pleasantly surprised. I started out thinking what has she done? But I kept watching because I enjoy listening to you talk to us. But in the end, your card turned out very nice. Not my style, but it was fun to watch and I learned how to make the texture paste. Hope you all enjoyed the movie!
ha ha i was thinking the same thing as you! ha ha. I really wasnt sure if i was going to achieve a nice card in the beginning but i pushed on through and im really happy with the end card! Thank you so much for hanging out with me again Chris!
Thank you Sasha for your tips on making the texture paste, I always enjoy when you chat, I feel like where chatting together! Your card looks really interesting, the black makes it pop! Crafters Companion have Spectrum Noir & they do Master Classes now, I have learnt a lot about colours that mix Together well. I'm looking forward to our next chatty evening together, by the way I always answer you & ask you questions!
Beautiful!!! My husband and I watch crime show also!! I am from the US and my husband is from Canada also. We live in the US. I love home alone!! We watch that every year!!
I am just getting back into card making, thank you for your easy to follow instructions. I didn't know what people were talking about mixed media now I know. Thank you again. I love watching your video's you make it seem that we are there with you.
Oh brilliant, i hope you have a go with trying out mixed media, and check out Marta's channel, she's full of relaxing inspiration! Thank you so much for hanging out and 'crafting' with me :)
sacha you have already tried to put a piece of plastic follie over your jar after use and then close it well. I do that with my paint, paste, mouse and that helps against drying out, just try and see if it works successfully.greats from Belgium😘
I know this was made a year ago, but I did enjoy watching it so much. It's Christmas here (2021) and is was quite nice to sit back and learn something new. Thank you.
Dry between colors if you don’t want “muddy” colors. One thing I did was spray my water colour card panel with clear acrylic topcoat. I’ve got a can of spray varnish leftover from other crafting. I go outside, hold the card panel and spray a very light mist over it. I have matte finish so it doesn’t change the look at all, just keeps the color from rubbing off.
Hi Sasha, my first visit to you...as someone that watches videos to learn so I can make cards my own, I really, really thank you for not only the texture paste recipe, but showing how you use it and doing it 'without rules'. I like your 'coloring outside the box' because it helps me explore my creativity. Thank you! And the length was perfect...I am alone now, and it was good to be able to watch while washing my dishes and it made it so much more pleasant. Blessings!
OH my goodness, you have brought tears to my eyes. Thank you so much for this beautiful comment. I had such a horrible day yesterday when i had 2 really nasty comments on 2 videos that just made me feel so awful. Your words mean so much. I love doing this job and I am always working hard to improve my content and do the best job i can do. I started from scratch with RUclips 2.5 years ago and have managed to turn this love and passion into a full time income for our family. Encouragement like this from you really is the motivation to keep going. Thank you :)
The way I remember which colors make brown, are the opposite on the color wheel make muddy... Green & Red Blue & Orange Purple & Yellow The colors that will go nice together are the ones next to each other on the wheel. Blue, Purple, Red Red, Orange, Yellow Yellow, Green, Blue I would just google a color wheel and you will see and understand what I’m saying. I hope that helps
Thank you so much! Mega helpful!!!!!! Im sure i learned about this in high school art class, but i couldnt for the life of me remember! Thank you and thank you for hanging out with me
This is a BEAUTIFUL result, Sasha. 👏👏 At first I was horrified at so much black 😱 But in the end it's all come together wonderfully. Amazing. 😁❤ Well done!! Now, a year on, you probably know more about the colours. The 3 primary colours are blue, yellow and red. Mix those 3 --> brown....in watercolour = mud 😊 So mixing say, orange (red +yellow) and blue --> mud. The same with green (yellow and blue) and red --> mud. And purple (red + blue) with yellow --mud. That's very basic because there are so many shades and hues of the primary colours. Emma Jane Lefebvre, the watercolourist gives great advice on colour theory and the colour wheel. She's Canadian 😃 I hope you've been able to visit Canada by now? Anyway, take care. 🙋
Can’t wait for 2021 . I’m still organizing my craft area on Saturday night and Packing ginger bread houses to ship to the grand kiddos . It’s what we always did after Thanksgiving day. This year it’s Skype decorating together. Next year will be better. Stay safe.
mmmmmm ginger bread! No idea where you are, but in Canada at winter someone always made gingersnap cookies, gosh i miss those so much! I need to find a recipe for those. Mmmmm soft and chewy! YUM. What a great idea to send the grandkids some little houses. It's such a sad year, we're not seeing any family this Christmas- first time in my life it's just us. But it is what it is, and everyone being alive is far more important. We'll see each other when can and we will eat a feast together im sure. You sound like an ace grandparent!
You know what I love about you Sasha? You’re a real crafter! What happens in your craft room is what I experience and I’m so glad you just keep going! Your card is lovely my kind of crafting. Hope your little ones enjoyed the movie it’s my Christmas fav!! Hugs from snowy🥶 Edmonton.
You are so awesome! Next time i go home we should try to meet up! Have a nice coffee in a second cup! Or Tim HO's YES TIM HO's gahhhh what i would give to have a french vanilla coffee! and one of their sandwhiches, mmmmmmmm yummy... Gah now im all hungry! My mom has been keeping me up to date on the cold Edmontonian weather. We've got a cold spell here as well, it's been 0 for 2 days which is cold for us! Frost everywhere 2 mornings in a row
@@SashaReade for sure we are going to connect on your next visit!! I’d love that. It’s kinda melting today so putting my outside decor out 😂 who knows what tomorrow will bring! I love your channel keep it up! You give me hope! Hugs for good health for you and your family. I wish I could send you a Tim’s and a sandwich xxoo Liz
@@elizabethtanti7884 So embarrassingly i just did a little FB stalking (sometimes i do that when im chatting to people back and for a lot, i like having a face for a name, cant imagine there are others with your name in Edmonton on FB) but when i clicked friends to see if we have any mutual- because anyone from Edmonton i have to see if we know people, i saw that you have something to do with Hosannah Quilters? That was the church i grew up in and went to for YEARS!
@@elizabethtanti7884 Such a small world! It was my grandpa who always took me, he passed away a few months ago. I lived with him until i was 23, miss him so much. He was Edward Stadel. I went to Hosannah until i was about 18, was in youth group and sunday school for years
I'm out of my comfort zone with messy but I really loved what you did enough to make me want to have a go. Thank you very much for your video. I've subscribed and saved you video to have a go. Beautiful finished card.
You can use opposing colors on the color wheel IF YOU let one dry before adding the second. With watercolor, you must not use lots of water when adding the 2nd color. But if careful it is a nice way to use complementary colors.
Loved watching this video... and you are company for others as well...and it looked amazing when it was finished thankyou ..also loved the blue tac pick up too
This was so much fun watching you get messy and creative Sasha. You we’re definitely channeling Marta hahaha! Thank you for sharing the texture paste recipe, your talent and creativity! Enjoy family movie night!
When my husband & I sit down we love watching Narrowboating on canal's in the UK! It's all on you tube and interesting to learn some history of how things were done 200 hundred years ago. :) I wasn't sure about your card at first but at the end it's really gorgeous, GOOG JOB and I can't wait to try making something like it. Keep up the good work.
Oh i think i started watching one of those shows with my parents in law! It had a lot of history and loads of interesting facts about the country as they travelled round. Thank you so much for hanging out with me again Cheri! Love seeing your face pop up in my comments
I enjoy listening to your chat & your experiment. It’s also nice that there are things that you aren’t sure about... you get your poo brown when you mix 2 colours from the opposite side of the colour wheel (blue & orange) or too many colours (red, blue & yellow).
I love how this card turned out! I've dipped my toes in the sands of mixed media art journal pages.. they are utterly cool! What could make this toe dippin' adventure even better? I've also found a beautiful channel to learn different methods of DIY book binding. Gahhh, I'm a happy girl seeing a sprinkle of mixed media on Sasha's channel as well! I do love me some Sasha! Btw, I tried to email you the other day but it got hung up in the spin cycle and never left my box. May have been best at the time, who knows. Another winner love, thank you so much for this video!
Sasha I have enjoyed your videos for the last couple weeks. I have watched them in order, you are very talented and interesting, Thanks for sharing from the US
I thought you had lost it when you put the black paint on but it all came together with the sentiment. Then you put the sparkles on and made it pop. That is a card to be proud of. Thank you for showing us how to make the paste too.
haha, yes there were a few times where i was thinking, hmmm is this going to work out at all... But then it all came together at the end and i LOVED it! Thank you so much for hanging out with me :)
I think a bit of glycerin can be used instead of water. But test that theory before you make a gallon regardless. I like using glass bead gel for some stuff. I add a bit of paint most of the time. I also use just plain old tubs of vinyl wall spackle. That stuff you use to fill nail holes in your walls. I also add paint to that if I need a color other than white. I also bought a huge bottle of acrylic pearlized paint that I will also sometimes add for a little more bling. Both glass bead gel and vinyl spackle are sandable. Maybe I will go to Sasha's Facebook group and see if I have been approved to join yet, so I can share some examples of what those two mediums look like when used like a texture paste. Happy crafting folks!
Love that I can make my own texture paste, definitely going to try that and I love sparkle too however, this was toooo messy a look for me, I'm a control freak, like it all neat and in order lol. Thanks for the suggestions though.
Thanks Sasha for sharing some of your Saturday night. You have encouraged me to have a play as I've never done anything like this. Our Saturday is the same as yours (minus the kids). Hubby cooked steak,corquettes,soft fried onions and bread rolls,washed down with red wine. Hugs from Denmark (originally from the UK)
OH YUM!!!!! Gosh today I would have loved a child free day, but I bet you when they grow up and move out i'll miss it like mad. Your dinner sounds blooming amazing! What took you over to Denmark? How are you finding it compared to here in the UK? So pleased you've got some inspiration, hope you get a bit messy and creative :)
Colors to get the browns you mix a primary color say red and the mix of the other 2 primary’s or green, and you will get brown. Rainbow colors ROYGBIV red, orange. Yellow green, blue indigo, violet are often used in card making videos. Personally, I like cool colors together, and warm colors together. I’ve found a color wheel really helpful. It will show you combos that work. Moldy stuff, if you do add water try distilled water since most tap water has bacteria in it.
Fabulous card Sasha really enjoyed watching you and of course chatting. I am nearly always crafting Saturday nights and my husband is always waiting for me to finish to watch some tv!
Really enjoyed your video and LOVE your talking to us! Your card is fantastic! My husband and I enjoy watching Miss Phryne Fisher Mysteries. Set in 1928 it's just a fun watch!
I love your card,you picked a very funny movie to watch hope your kids enjoy it. Today I have started making my Christmas cards not really that many but my list is growing because my oldest granddaughter gave me a list then my daughter another list but I really don't mind it keep me busy
oh fantastic! And yes my kids LOVED it! They laughed so much, ordered the second one to see if they like that for next weekend! Thank you so much for hanging out with me and sharing your craftiness!
My hubby LOVES Home Alone. I always know when he is watching it because I can hear him laughing so much 😂 I hope your kiddiewinks enjoyed it. I love your mixed media card. I don't know if I could do anything like that though, I don't "do" messy crafting 😂 I'd have to wear gloves 😂 I'm usually doing the puzzle pages in the Saturday paper, one eye on your channel and one on the paper. I really enjoyed "hanging out" with you too Sasha. Stay safe 😷 and well ☺ 🤗 🤗 🤗 🤗 xx
Ha ha that is brilliant! My kids absolutely LOVED the movie, they laughed so much! Im thinking we might try Elf next week while putting up the Christmas tree. Thank you so much for always hanging out with me Audrey! I love seeing your little face bubble pop up each time! Hope you get messy without gloves one day, it's invigorating ha ha
ha ha so many people have said that, and to be honest i wasnt sure either, but i kept on going and im so happy i did! I loved the end card! And the whole process was just so relaxing
I have to admit that I wasn’t sure I was going to like this as you were going along, but it turned out really great! Just goes to show to gotta trust the process. Great job! I just discovered your channel, and I’m really enjoying it so far!
ha ha i was thinking the same, believe me. At several points i was like, what on earth am I doing here. But i kept going and im so happy i did! just add more crap and it will eventually look good! ha ha, that's the idea behind mixed media isnt it?
i feel you, sometimes im too tired to function and TV is the only option. Im trying to be on top of my videos so if i do have one of those days i can still post something on a Saturday for people to craft with me on!
yes i was worried at a couple points about getting anything nice in the end so happy i persisted! I love my end result! and it was a nice chilled out fun slightly messy afternoon. Thank you for hanging out with me
Loved watching you, you are so creative. I watched home alone yesterday with my daughters. I enjoy watching Christmas movies. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.
The kids LOVED home alone! They laughed through so much of it. Was such a great family night. Thank you so much for hanging out with me in my creativity :)
Ha ha i was thinking the exact same thing while i was making it, i was like, ummmm is this going to be a dud card, am i going to have to toss this filming? But i thought no, i have to keep going, and im so happy i did because i LOVE the end result!
Watched ur video for first time, don't know why never connected with you before. But i have to tell u that u lie..u r an artist! I love u share a bit of ur life ... THANK YOU FOR SHARING.
ha ha, i think artist is pushing it. I always wondered though if i could be one of those really rich artists that sell paintings for thousands that are literally just blobs of paint all over the place! That kind of art i could do!
Crafty peeps (and Sasha)! If you don't have talcum powder/don't like the smell, use cornflour instead! Most talcum powders are exactly that, plus fragrance. I made my pastes some months ago with this recipe and cornflour, and it's exactly the same 👍 Thanks Sasha for sharing!
That is so perfect, another subscriber also commented that, it's such a great idea! Thank you so much!!!! Thank you for hanging out with me as well!
Is corn starch the same?

Been stamping my own greeting cards since the early 1980's and my motto has always been, "If it's not working, it's not sparkly enough ".

I love glittery too!😊 Am really enjoying all these technique videos! Thanks so much Sasha😁😄😊
Thank you so much for watching Eileen
This is a BEAUTIFUL result, Sasha. 👏👏 At first I was horrified at so much black 😱 But in the end it's all come together wonderfully. Amazing. 😁❤ Well done!! Now, a year on, you probably know more about the colours. The 3 primary colours are blue, yellow and red. Mix those 3 --> brown....in watercolour = mud 😊 So mixing say, orange (red +yellow) and blue --> mud. The same with green (yellow and blue) and red --> mud. And purple (red + blue) with yellow --mud. That's very basic because there are so many shades and hues of the primary colours. Emma Jane Lefebvre, the watercolourist gives great advice on colour theory and the colour wheel. She's Canadian 😃 I hope you've been able to visit Canada by now? Anyway, take care. 🙋
Can’t wait for 2021 . I’m still organizing my craft area on Saturday night and Packing ginger bread houses to ship to the grand kiddos . It’s what we always did after Thanksgiving day. This year it’s Skype decorating together. Next year will be better. Stay safe.
mmmmmm ginger bread! No idea where you are, but in Canada at winter someone always made gingersnap cookies, gosh i miss those so much! I need to find a recipe for those. Mmmmm soft and chewy! YUM. What a great idea to send the grandkids some little houses. It's such a sad year, we're not seeing any family this Christmas- first time in my life it's just us. But it is what it is, and everyone being alive is far more important. We'll see each other when can and we will eat a feast together im sure. You sound like an ace grandparent!
You know what I love about you Sasha? You’re a real crafter! What happens in your craft room is what I experience and I’m so glad you just keep going! Your card is lovely my kind of crafting. Hope your little ones enjoyed the movie it’s my Christmas fav!!
Hugs from snowy🥶 Edmonton.
You are so awesome! Next time i go home we should try to meet up! Have a nice coffee in a second cup! Or Tim HO's YES TIM HO's gahhhh what i would give to have a french vanilla coffee! and one of their sandwhiches, mmmmmmmm yummy... Gah now im all hungry! My mom has been keeping me up to date on the cold Edmontonian weather. We've got a cold spell here as well, it's been 0 for 2 days which is cold for us! Frost everywhere 2 mornings in a row
@@SashaReade for sure we are going to connect on your next visit!! I’d love that. It’s kinda melting today so putting my outside decor out 😂 who knows what tomorrow will bring!
I love your channel keep it up! You give me hope! Hugs for good health for you and your family. I wish I could send you a Tim’s and a sandwich xxoo

@@elizabethtanti7884 So embarrassingly i just did a little FB stalking (sometimes i do that when im chatting to people back and for a lot, i like having a face for a name, cant imagine there are others with your name in Edmonton on FB) but when i clicked friends to see if we have any mutual- because anyone from Edmonton i have to see if we know people, i saw that you have something to do with Hosannah Quilters? That was the church i grew up in and went to for YEARS!
@@SashaReade Sasha I was confirmed and been a member there for years. I’m on the Council. Who are your parents? My dads a Lutheran pastor
@@elizabethtanti7884 Such a small world! It was my grandpa who always took me, he passed away a few months ago. I lived with him until i was 23, miss him so much. He was Edward Stadel. I went to Hosannah until i was about 18, was in youth group and sunday school for years
You have such a beautiful attitude. Kinda needed to hear a nice person person today. Thank you for your cheerful easygoing attitude 💜
Agreed - Bosch was a great series!
Your card is gorgeous thank you so much for sharing your ideas
I'm out of my comfort zone with messy but I really loved what you did enough to make me want to have a go. Thank you very much for your video. I've subscribed and saved you video to have a go. Beautiful finished card.
Very nice. Discovered you tutorials recently. Very very nice. Thank you🥰
You can use opposing colors on the color wheel IF YOU let one dry before adding the second. With watercolor, you must not use lots of water when adding the 2nd color. But if careful it is a nice way to use complementary colors.
Loved watching this video... and you are company for others as well...and it looked amazing when it was finished thankyou ..also loved the blue tac pick up too
I can't wait to try this out with my little girl! You are a blast to hang out with, thank you for sharing 😊
Awe thank you for the lovely words of encouragement! Im so happy i have so many amazing people to hang out with
This was so much fun watching you get messy and creative Sasha. You we’re definitely channeling Marta hahaha! Thank you for sharing the texture paste recipe, your talent and creativity! Enjoy family movie night!
ha ha I love her work, and it's been soooooo long since i got messy with mixed media. Thank you so much for hanging out with me!
When my husband & I sit down we love watching Narrowboating on canal's in the UK! It's all on you tube and interesting to learn some history of how things were done 200 hundred years ago. :) I wasn't sure about your card at first but at the end it's really gorgeous, GOOG JOB and I can't wait to try making something like it. Keep up the good work.
Oh i think i started watching one of those shows with my parents in law! It had a lot of history and loads of interesting facts about the country as they travelled round. Thank you so much for hanging out with me again Cheri! Love seeing your face pop up in my comments
I enjoy listening to your chat & your experiment. It’s also nice that there are things that you aren’t sure about... you get your poo brown when you mix 2 colours from the opposite side of the colour wheel (blue & orange) or too many colours (red, blue & yellow).
Very unique card. Good job.
Your are a star i❤ love ❤️ listening to you I am in my golden yrs thank you ❤
I love how this card turned out! I've dipped my toes in the sands of mixed media art journal pages.. they are utterly cool! What could make this toe dippin' adventure even better? I've also found a beautiful channel to learn different methods of DIY book binding. Gahhh, I'm a happy girl seeing a sprinkle of mixed media on Sasha's channel as well! I do love me some Sasha! Btw, I tried to email you the other day but it got hung up in the spin cycle and never left my box. May have been best at the time, who knows.
Another winner love, thank you so much for this video!
Did i reply to your email??? I think i did??
I think it's just beautiful. Thank you for sharing. Sending love from canada❤❤❤❤
Sasha I have enjoyed your videos for the last couple weeks. I have watched them in order, you are very talented and interesting, Thanks for sharing from the US
awe thank you so much Charlotte
This is out of my comfort zone, I don't do messy lol
I thought you had lost it when you put the black paint on but it all came together with the sentiment. Then you put the sparkles on and made it pop. That is a card to be proud of. Thank you for showing us how to make the paste too.
haha, yes there were a few times where i was thinking, hmmm is this going to work out at all... But then it all came together at the end and i LOVED it! Thank you so much for hanging out with me :)
Beautiful card
I think a bit of glycerin can be used instead of water. But test that theory before you make a gallon regardless. I like using glass bead gel for some stuff. I add a bit of paint most of the time. I also use just plain old tubs of vinyl wall spackle. That stuff you use to fill nail holes in your walls. I also add paint to that if I need a color other than white. I also bought a huge bottle of acrylic pearlized paint that I will also sometimes add for a little more bling. Both glass bead gel and vinyl spackle are sandable. Maybe I will go to Sasha's Facebook group and see if I have been approved to join yet, so I can share some examples of what those two mediums look like when used like a texture paste. Happy crafting folks!
Love that I can make my own texture paste, definitely going to try that and I love sparkle too however, this was toooo messy a look for me, I'm a control freak, like it all neat and in order lol. Thanks for the suggestions though.
Thanks Sasha for sharing some of your Saturday night. You have encouraged me to have a play as I've never done anything like this. Our Saturday is the same as yours (minus the kids). Hubby cooked steak,corquettes,soft fried onions and bread rolls,washed down with red wine. Hugs from Denmark (originally from the UK)
OH YUM!!!!! Gosh today I would have loved a child free day, but I bet you when they grow up and move out i'll miss it like mad. Your dinner sounds blooming amazing! What took you over to Denmark? How are you finding it compared to here in the UK? So pleased you've got some inspiration, hope you get a bit messy and creative :)
I love your energy, so funny!!!
I have been wanting to make some!!! Thanks.
thank you for the inspiration I have been like sad or stuck with me and crafting.
Awe thank you so much for hanging out with me tonight!
Colors to get the browns you mix a primary color say red and the mix of the other 2 primary’s or green, and you will get brown. Rainbow colors ROYGBIV red, orange. Yellow green, blue indigo, violet are often used in card making videos. Personally, I like cool colors together, and warm colors together. I’ve found a color wheel really helpful. It will show you combos that work. Moldy stuff, if you do add water try distilled water since most tap water has bacteria in it.
Really enjoyed the chat and the card is awesome.
Thank You! Thank you for hanging out with me!
That turned out beautiful! Love your ideas.
Thanks so much! 😊
Beautiful!
Your texture paste is a cool idea.
Thank you so much for watching
Fabulous card Sasha really enjoyed watching you and of course chatting. I am nearly always crafting Saturday nights and my husband is always waiting for me to finish to watch some tv!
ha ha sounds familiar... Thank you so much for hanging out with me tonight! Hope you watched a good show :)
Really enjoyed your video and LOVE your talking to us! Your card is fantastic! My husband and I enjoy watching Miss Phryne Fisher Mysteries. Set in 1928 it's just a fun watch!
Oh lovely! Thank you so much for hanging out with me tonight ;)
Love it! Thanks for sharing all the info!
Beautiful I love it.
What a fabulous result. 😍
Thank you! 😊
I love your card,you picked a very funny movie to watch hope your kids enjoy it. Today I have started making my Christmas cards not really that many but my list is growing because my oldest granddaughter gave me a list then my daughter another list but I really don't mind it keep me busy
oh fantastic! And yes my kids LOVED it! They laughed so much, ordered the second one to see if they like that for next weekend! Thank you so much for hanging out with me and sharing your craftiness!
My hubby LOVES Home Alone. I always know when he is watching it because I can hear him laughing so much 😂 I hope your kiddiewinks enjoyed it. I love your mixed media card. I don't know if I could do anything like that though, I don't "do" messy crafting 😂 I'd have to wear gloves 😂 I'm usually doing the puzzle pages in the Saturday paper, one eye on your channel and one on the paper. I really enjoyed "hanging out" with you too Sasha. Stay safe 😷 and well ☺ 🤗 🤗 🤗 🤗 xx
Ha ha that is brilliant! My kids absolutely LOVED the movie, they laughed so much! Im thinking we might try Elf next week while putting up the Christmas tree. Thank you so much for always hanging out with me Audrey! I love seeing your little face bubble pop up each time! Hope you get messy without gloves one day, it's invigorating ha ha
Love this, I'm just trying this style out, not very successfully. Thanks
Came across your channel! Great tips and videos! Subscribed!
This was way cool.
Sasha, I love your creativity. It is right up my alley, especially with glitter.
ha ha i have such and addiction to sparkly and shinny! Thank you so much for hanging out with me!
I'm a Bosch fan too! The show is a bit different from the books, but it's true to the character. Great video. I love making my own mediums.
Wasn`t sure where this card was going at first. But it looks beautiful.
Love it, thanks Sasha.
ha ha so many people have said that, and to be honest i wasnt sure either, but i kept on going and im so happy i did! I loved the end card! And the whole process was just so relaxing
Great fun! Thanks for sharing this!😊
I have to admit that I wasn’t sure I was going to like this as you were going along, but it turned out really great! Just goes to show to gotta trust the process. Great job! I just discovered your channel, and I’m really enjoying it so far!
ha ha i was thinking the same, believe me. At several points i was like, what on earth am I doing here. But i kept going and im so happy i did! just add more crap and it will eventually look good! ha ha, that's the idea behind mixed media isnt it?
I really did not like this card BUT I stuck with it & I'm so glad I did. It's lovely
that turned out pretty neat... thanks for sharing.. I sometimes craft on Saturday nights, sometimes I watch TV.. just depends..
i feel you, sometimes im too tired to function and TV is the only option. Im trying to be on top of my videos so if i do have one of those days i can still post something on a Saturday for people to craft with me on!
I love mixed media as well and Martha is a good inspiration to watch! Your card is lovely!
She really is, im a big fan! Thank you so much for hanging out with me tonight
so inspiring!
thankyou Sasha!
Thank you Maria :)
Enjoyed your process and outcome tfs
Thank you for watching :)
Sometimes, the fun of the process is better than the results ! Although the project turned out to be beautiful !
yes i was worried at a couple points about getting anything nice in the end so happy i persisted! I love my end result! and it was a nice chilled out fun slightly messy afternoon. Thank you for hanging out with me
Loved watching you, you are so creative. I watched home alone yesterday with my daughters. I enjoy watching Christmas movies. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.
Hi Ana! Thank you so much for hanging out with me again. I just ordered Home alone 2 to watch with the kids next weekend as the first was such a hit!
That was so fun. Love the saturdays. Great card. Thanks or paste. Ill have to check the winkastella video. Hope the kids enjoye home alone.
The kids LOVED home alone! They laughed through so much of it. Was such a great family night. Thank you so much for hanging out with me in my creativity :)
Such a beautiful card.
love love this
Very cute!
Thank you :)
This turned out beautifully!!!!
I wasn't sure....
I would love to get a card....work of art...!!!
Your fellow Canadian,
Brenda
Ha ha i was thinking the exact same thing while i was making it, i was like, ummmm is this going to be a dud card, am i going to have to toss this filming? But i thought no, i have to keep going, and im so happy i did because i LOVE the end result!
Having fun is the point-- thanks for sharing.
Totally! Thank you for hanging out!
Watched ur video for first time, don't know why never connected with you before. But i have to tell u that u lie..u r an artist! I love u share a bit of ur life ... THANK YOU FOR SHARING.
ha ha, i think artist is pushing it. I always wondered though if i could be one of those really rich artists that sell paintings for thousands that are literally just blobs of paint all over the place! That kind of art i could do!
@@SashaReade lol. Nope most artist dont get recognition until after they meet their maker..
Art is in the eye of the beholder
