  • I have lots of the small pots of Cosmic Shimmers and I use them in lots of ways, but using them to watercolour with gives a lovely shimmery effect to your cards and is well worth trying.
    Arteza now have a large range of Mica Powders.

    This is a very beautiful card. I too, never thought of using my mica powders this way this way. I love teal. Thank you, Christina.

    Hi Christina, love your demos especially showing how to paint with mica powders. I bought some a couple of years ago but never knew what to do with them so will be getting them out as nice summery colours x

    Hi Christina, Ive just read about a ladycomplaining about the music you play when you are demonstating.I love tne music, its very soothing and helps me to concentrate.I love all your cards.Brenda.xx

      Thank you Brenda ... I can't please all the people all the time and the majority enjoy the music and tell me ... and so they are the ones that I try my best for you. I have explained on many occasions why the music is there as there is road and airport noise and children playing in my neighbourhood and I am sure that nobody would want to hear my neighbour shouting her kids in for tea !! So I am glad that you and many others find the music relaxing ... that was my aim and my "Film Crew" (hubby) edits the music lower each time I speak so as not to interfere Huhs to you Cxx

    @bjwlsn1 ... yes you can but I haven't eaten all these pies.... you can buy the foil dishes in the supermarket and they are really cheap. I use them to heat the embossing powder in when I want to enamel the roses and the are handy for other thing too.

    I noticed that you did not use a static cling cloth before stamping your image; it is not necessary with mica powders? Thank you for your video.

  • @ChristinaGriffiths
    @ChristinaGriffiths  Před 10 lety +9

    The music is necessary as it drowns out all manner of noise outside my house.... and as I had to buy the piece for just such a purpose then I am sorry if it irritates you ... but it stays

    I know that its been a very long time since you made this video, but this is the first time i have seen it. If your still taking comments, I would like to ask a quick question. You painted the card with water and mica powder. You don't need to add a finish to it? The mica powder doesn't dry up and fall off? I have never used mica powder but own a ton of it and honestly don't know what to do with it.

    • @ChristinaGriffiths
      @ChristinaGriffiths  Před 4 lety +4

      Hello ... Mica powder usually needs something to bind it otherwise it will dust off and in this case I have added water to it to make a paste. That is enough to bind the powder for this card. When you use powder and apply it with the brush in the kit then you may need to use a separate binder and in that case a cheap hairspray works really well Cxx

      The water holds the mica together because it is now paste and not a powder. Cxx

    I really appreciate your teaching demos. You make beautiful cards. You are a true artist!
    Can you please not play that irritating music in the background. It plays the same musical notes over + over. You play this music in every video demo.
    I want to learn from your videos and hear everything you are saying! The music is not necessary when you are doing a teaching video.Thank You again for sharing!
