Oh, just gorgeous Christine! TFS your Playtime with us!🥰🙏🦘🦘🌹
You are so welcome
Beautiful card! Excellent technique! TFS
You are so welcome!
I love your experimental backgrounds!
That's great!😊😊😊
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.
Great tip! That makes total sense! Thank you! 😊
Thank you for the continual flow of great ideas! So inspiring!
You are so welcome! I'm delighted that you enjoy my videos ❤️❤️❤️
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 😊. 🇨🇦
That’s so kind Jo-Ann welcome! I hope you’ll enjoy many more of my videos!
❤️❤️❤️
Gorgeous card!
Thanks so much!😊
This is just beautiful.
Thank you 💙💙💙
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.
Thanks for sharing!!💙💙💙
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 CZcams 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
Thanks for the reminder about my blog! Time is off the essence. So many CAS challenges seem to have sadly closed. Facebook and CZcams seems to reach so many more people that it’s difficult to know what to do. Blogging was a huge part of my life, but I seem to be able to reach more people via social media
@@Chrissieannie Thank you for replying Chrissie, and I understand your viewpoint, but I just feel very sad that yet another great blog has disappeared. x
Thank you I appreciate your support, I may get back to blogging but it is quite time consuming so I'm sure you understand that something had too give. 🤔
That's very pretty 💙
Thank you! 😊
Beautiful!
Thank you!💙💙💙
So beautiful!!!
Thank you!!😊
Beautiful work ❤
Thanks a lot 😊
Beautiful
Thank you😊
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!
Have fun❤️💙❤️
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
Glad you liked it!❤️
Fabulous card as always Christine. What a brilliant idea and technique. I really admire you for your ideas. Thanks so much for sharing.
You are so welcome😊
Awesome !
Thanks!
i dont have mica sprays, but i have Brusho and Nuance powdered pigments. I'll crush up some eyeshadow powders!
What ingenuity! Have fun! I'm sure you'll create something splendid!💙
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!
Wonderful!😃
Love this! More stuff I need to buy though😂😂
Oh dear! 🤔
What a wonderful background technique. I’ve never seen that done before. Hilarious story and a lovely card. Thank you for sharing them - Dawn 🌅
Thanks so much!
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!
Brilliant! 🥰🥰🥰
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!😅
Have fun❤️❤️❤️
Gorgeous ❤ That would also make a wonderful under water background! Thank you ❤
You're welcome 😊
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
You should!💙💙💙 it's fun!
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. 🥰🇨🇦❤️
Thank you so much!❤️❤️❤️
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!
🤣🤣🤣
Another fabulous idea Chrissie …beautiful colours ….
Hugs Sylvie xx
Thank you so much 😊
Well, I guess I'll be buying some spray starch! Beautiful!!
Thanks 💙💙💙 enjoy!
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.😀
Thanks you too💙💙💙
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. 😂
As long as you're having fun, threats the main thing! 💙💙💙
Another beautiful card. Thank you for sharing.
My pleasure 💙💙💙
Thank you for another creative idea for backgrounds. Beautiful colours. 👏😊💕
You are so welcome!
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
Just about any supermarket I should think or Amazon!
@@Chrissieannie ah yes I didn't think of Amazon, thank you x
Fabulous. Guess what I'll be doing tomorrow 😅
🤣🤣🤣
Lovely!
🥰🥰🥰
Wonderful idea, and my ironing board and supplies are in my craft room. How convenient!! 😊
Perfect!🦋🦋🦋
I only have the Lindy’s magical powders….might give it a try. I love this, so pretty!
You should!💙💙💙
Stunning card!!! I always enjoy your videos!! Christine, you have such creative ideas!!
Thank you so much!💙💙💙
Beautiful, as always. Tell us again what cardstock you use.
Silkweave linen from syntego.co.uk
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?
Starch adds a kind of sheen to the effect of the colours. Try both and see if you can spot the difference in the finished backgrounds.
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.
Thanks 💙💙💙
❤❤❤
❤️❤️❤️
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 ❤
Thank you so much, this means a lot! Happy Easter to you too!💙💙💙
How fun!!! I cannot wait to try this!! Beautiful backgrounds!!! Love the stiff shorts!!😂😂❤
🤣🤣🤣
Wow! That card will be gorgeous. Thank you for another great technique ❣️🇺🇸
Thanks so much!
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 ❤
Thank you 🥰🥰🥰
❤this! And yet another technique. Can’t wait to try.
Have fun!🦋💙
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. 👍🏻
Many thanks 💙💙💙
Lovely card and can't wait to play with this technique. Stunning results.
Have fun!😊
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.
You will see the results very soon on Instagram and Facebook!
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.
Thank you! Cheers!
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??
Thanks paperrose.com.au/products/ellas-garden-leafy-circle-metal-die-17964?_pos=44&_sid=8c6dab1ae&_ss=r
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! 💕
My 'go to' wax is by Pebeo ..Empire gold bit I also like the softer Enchanted gold Gilding polish from Cosmic Shimmer😊
@@Chrissieannie Thank you!
What a wonderful way to create backgrounds, I’ve not seen starch used before in crafting I will certainly give it a try, thank you so much for this idea, love the end results. Take care and enjoy the rest of the week end.
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
Je ne sais pas exactement, c'est pour le finis je crois😊
Merci j essaierai !
What difference does using starch rather than just water please?
Try it and see what you think! 😊
Chris, can you give us the web link to “Sticks to Everything?” Thanks!

Beautiful background ❤ Would you say that the Nuvo Shimmer powder is similar to the powders you used?
Lots of these powders are similar but have slightly different properties. It may depend on the effect that you are wanting to achieve or what specific colour you want.
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. 😊
I make all me own card bases, but purchase most envelopes, there are just a couple of sizes that I have to make.
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.
The paper is Silkweave linen from Syntego.co.uk they ship internationally and sell on Amazon.com. the foam tape is from Stix2 anything and the nesting dies are from Presscut
@@Chrissieannie marvelous, thank you so much
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
www.stix2.co.uk/product/5mm-x-1-6mm-x-46m-white-foam-rolls-special-offer/ I take the backing off all of the tape eventually!
@@Chrissieannie Thank you Christine x
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.
I have no idea! I think it has something to do with the finish it leaves!
@@Chrissieannie thanks!
I think Lindy's Gang Magical powders may be very similar to the Explosions and Luscious powders. They're pigment powder with mica (most of them but they do have flats) and have many colors in most of them that aren't readily visible. I love them.
@@kcinca5410 I think you're probably right. I have a BUNCH of nuvo shimmer powders, but they don't seem to have the same fun mixes of shimmer.
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
Danke. Das Spray, das ich benutzte, war Wäschestärke. Die Pulver wurden auf die nasse Stärke gestreut und mit zerknitterter Frischhaltefolie bedeckt. Es wurde an Ort und Stelle belassen, bis es trocken war!
♥♥♥VIELEN LIEBEN DANK♥♥♥Das werde ich so bald ich einen Spray gekauft habe ausprobieren♥♥♥DANKESCHÖN für die schnelle Antwort und die LIEBE HILFE♥♥♥Wünsche einen Wundervollen Tag mit einem Tollen Feierabend♥Mit Lieben Grüssen Ramona
Ich spreche kein Deutsch, also habe ich Google Translate verwendet, um meine Antwort zu schreiben. Ich hoffe, es war das, was Sie brauchten.😊❤️
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
I think it has something too Dio with the finish that is achieved but I really don't know for sure!
I may have missed it, but is this plain cardstock for the starch technique?
Yes, that is what I used!
Can you please tell me how you made your Distress colour chart, I think its for Oxide ink pads ?
I drew it in Word 2013 !
@@Chrissieannie thank you, afraid I only have Apple, but will try to sweet talk my husband who uses Word.
I'm sure you could do something similar on a Mac but I don't know anything about them😊
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.
I think it's a question of trial and error with whatever cardstock you have. If there's not enough liquid, the powders won't react I guess, I'm going to try a few more, I have some Nuvo Shimmer powders as well! I thought I'd try those!
@@Chrissieannie Thanks for your reply Christine. I have tried glossy cs and watercolour c/s and now I am wondering if it is something in the Nuvo powders. Anyway, I will keep experimenting.
Will regular mica powder work?
Try it!
Hi Christine. I’m new to your channel so apologies if you have already explained this . Where do you buy your gold gilding wax?
I think it was Amazon! 🤔
@@Chrissieannie thank you
Do you know someone who was 102?😱😊
It was for a commission card for a friend's mum.!
Beautiful!
Thank you!
