Beautiful card! Excellent technique! TFS

I love your experimental backgrounds!

Thank you for the continual flow of great ideas! So inspiring!

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.

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.

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 😊. 🇨🇦

This is just beautiful.

Gorgeous card!

this is SO COOL!!!

Fabulous card as always Christine. What a brilliant idea and technique. I really admire you for your ideas. Thanks so much for sharing.

That's very pretty 💙

So beautiful!!!

Beautiful!

Beautiful work ❤

Spray starch??? Never used it and can't remember the last time I even ironed! But I do love Brushos and the cling wrap technique has always been fun with a variety of products! Good to be reminded of these older bottles of fun!

Beautiful

Oh, just gorgeous Christine! TFS your Playtime with us!🥰🙏🦘🦘🌹

Awesome !

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 RU-vid 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! Thank you for showing us what you can do with this great technique. x

Another creative and innovative technique with a brilliant result. I shall add spray starch to my shopping list, along with shaving foam. I almost spat out my cuppa as you regaled us with the yarn of the Ambassador starched shorts!

You can add mica powders on top of brusho which will shine 🥰

Blows my mind at what you can make with some household products and crafty products. It was fun seeing this technique done. It is quite simple too from the looks of it. I will have to get spray starch along with the shaving cream now. LOL Your card is beautiful Chrissie! Thanks for always teaching us new techniques. Hugs, Brenda

❤❤❤

Love this! More stuff I need to buy though😂😂

Well, I guess I'll be buying some spray starch! Beautiful!!

i dont have mica sprays, but i have Brusho and Nuance powdered pigments. I'll crush up some eyeshadow powders!

Now that looks like fun! Need to get some spray starch as haven’t ironed in years and years and some colorful Micah powders also…..and shaving foam!😅

Another beautiful card. Thank you for sharing.

As usual, a beautiful card, you never disappoint! Spray starch and pigment powders is one of my favorite techniques! Thanks for reminding me, I haven't done it in a while. And....over the years, I have never thrown away the cling wrap I use, I have it stuffed and all wrinkled up in an old, empty tissue box. I just keep reusing the pieces, it's kind of like not totally cleaning up your gel plate, you get some little surprises of left behind color from the last time you used it :) Have a great Easter weekend!

I absolutely LOVE the Pretty Gets Gritty powders, I’ve not got many but I am planning to get more. I need to try with the spraybstarch

What a wonderful background technique. I’ve never seen that done before. Hilarious story and a lovely card. Thank you for sharing them - Dawn 🌅

Funny story! We (Americans and British) do speak two different versions of English don’t we? When I lived in Oxford, I told my British friends a story about a spider (tarantula) in my pants. I meant trousers but I learned that in British English, pants means undergarments. A bit embarrassing and funny! Beautiful card as usual!

Hi. Thank you for sharing this amazing tutorial using another household item. A fabulous background to make a gorgeous card. Looks like I'll be adding some spray starch to my shopping list! Thanks again and have a fun weekend.😀

Your cards are consistently up-market and I love each one. The background here is so gorgeous and the process would make each one unique. I like that. Thank you Christine for another tutorial for producing beauty. 🥰🇨🇦❤️

Lovely!

I only have the Lindy’s magical powders….might give it a try. I love this, so pretty!

Another fabulous idea Chrissie …beautiful colours …. Hugs Sylvie xx

Fabulous. Guess what I'll be doing tomorrow 😅

Thank you for another creative idea for backgrounds. Beautiful colours. 👏😊💕

Gorgeous ❤ That would also make a wonderful under water background! Thank you ❤

More beautiful backgrounds. Love the card. Thanks for reminding us about cutting an aperture when trying to place those solid butterfly dies. Now I have to remember to order some shaving foam. Ooo so many things to try and so little time. 😂

Stunning card!!! I always enjoy your videos!! Christine, you have such creative ideas!!

Wonderful idea, and my ironing board and supplies are in my craft room. How convenient!! 😊

❤this! And yet another technique. Can’t wait to try.

Beautiful, as always. Tell us again what cardstock you use.

Oh Christine another beautiful card - you are so talented! I love listening to your videos!! Please can you tell me where you got your circle die from and what it is called??

No spray starch in this house. I do have some liquid starch from having a go at marbling paper. It's the only thing I've ever used it for. Love both these backgrounds. As always, looking forward to seeing the finished results.

I just so happen to have some starch on hand so I will give it a try. I have been playing with the shaving cream. Thanks for all your creative inspiration. Your card is beautiful ❤

Wow! That card will be gorgeous. Thank you for another great technique ❣️🇺🇸

Beautiful colours and effect. I thought I'd have a play with this technique myself but I'm having trouble finding spray starch. I've tried all the usual supermarkets, home bargains, pound land etc. Any ideas please Chris? I love it when you do a new technique (well new to me) I just want to rush into my craft room to play x

I have done this technique with just Walter and watercolour paint with shimmer (Gansai Tambi), and it turned out quite beautiful. Must give it another go, and thank you very much for the reminder with your beautiful card. 👍🏻

How fun!!! I cannot wait to try this!! Beautiful backgrounds!!! Love the stiff shorts!!😂😂❤

Stunning background, I have seen something similar but don't remember what was used instead of starch. Since I don't have any starch, I will do some experiments myself. Beautiful card and wonderful video, thank you! Have a great rest of your day.

Love this card Christine the colors are beautiful you are so talented.. I have been obsessed with my Gummapan dies I just adore them and they got me going again after hitting a dry spot..you are definitely my favorite to watch you always have wonderful ideas..God bless you and Happy Easter ❤

Lovely card and can't wait to play with this technique. Stunning results.

Would mixing Brusho powder with Perfect Pearls give the appearance your powders made?

Wonder if the Luscious Powders produce the same result as the Pretty Gets Gritty ones? Couldn't see the shimmer in the not-quite dry background done with the Luscious Powders.

I watched this months and months ago, but I am going to do the technique with friends on Tuesday so I wanted to watch it again. My question is why spray starch and not just water?

Beautiful background ❤ Would you say that the Nuvo Shimmer powder is similar to the powders you used?

What difference does using starch rather than just water please?

Fabulous background indeed! You're like a mad scientist! 🤣 Can you tell me which brand of gilding wax or polish you prefer? They're a bit pricey, so I would prefer to buy only one or the other. Thank you for another great video! 💕

I enjoy your channel and the techniques you share with us all! Couple of questions: what are the companies names of your paper supplier, foam adhesives, and the nesting dies? I am in Canada and especially would like to try the linen card. Have a blessed Easter weekend with family and friends.

I may have missed it, but is this plain cardstock for the starch technique?

Hi Chris. I love this type of background. I've been looking for some reasonable priced foam tape. Is your Stix2 roll 10mm x 1mm x 50m? Also, I noticed that you didn't take the backing tape off some of the foam tape. Do you think that it's not essential to take it all off? Thank you (again) for your wonderful inspiration. x

Chris, can you give us the web link to “Sticks to Everything?” Thanks!

Bonjour ! Merci pour la vidéo. L utilité d employer ce spray est il de fixer les pigments ? Les pigments indigo blue sont splendides !!!!!!. Bonnes fêtes de PÂQUES

I love the circle die you used. Do you make all your card bases and do you make your own envelopes. That guilding was makes such a difference and I was hoping Micheals our craft store carried it but it isn’t like yours for sure. Beautiful butterfly dies as well, I have a number of dies sets and use them all the time. 😊

Quick question: how does the spray starch affect the results? I know you can use the cling film by itself. Also, I would LOVE to find those explosion powders, but I haven't managed it here in the USA ☹️. Oh well, I guess they are my own personal unicorn.

Can you please tell me how you made your Distress colour chart, I think its for Oxide ink pads ?

Schönen Guten Tag Was für eine WUNDERSCHÖNE KARTE❤ Das möchte ich sehr gerne ausprobieren😊SIEHT WUNDERVOLL AUS DIE FARBEN DAS MUSTER❤❤❤ Darf ich fragen was für ein Spray war das und wie lange muss man es mit der Klarsichtfolie trocknen lassen? Ich kann leider kein Englisch aber ich Liebe es Dir zu zu sehen❤ Wünsche von Herzen einen WUNDERVOLLEN SCHÖNEN TAG wie baldiges schönes Wochenende❤ Mit Lieben Grüssen Ramona aus der Schweiz

Will regular mica powder work?

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.

Hi Christine. I’m new to your channel so apologies if you have already explained this . Where do you buy your gold gilding wax?

Is the only reason you use spray starch rather than water less warping of paper . Or does the powder react differently to water and spray . I don’t have spray but will get it if results are easier or better trhan using water . Thanks for any info you can provide . xx

Do you know someone who was 102?😱😊

Beautiful!
