I love the sprays. I make my own. I bought small spray bottles and put drops of reinker into the bottles, and then added a small amount of water. They work beautifully. I also do this with the distress ink reinkers. It's way cheaper than buying the sprays 😊

[@Chrissieannie]

That's a great idea!

[@doneensprowl3399]

Loved watching this and also for the tip of raising the card on a block to swipe the edges

[@Chrissieannie]

I hope that tip might be helpful to someone. I’m glad you noticed! 😊😊😊

[@patmoore365]

I love this effect Chrissie, and although the whole leaf shape is not visible, the glaze has left a lovely resist pattern. I love the way you have arranged the sentiment pieces at right angles to one another, and also added the white die cut leaves and sweet little pearls to finish, and the uneven edge dies as mats work brilliantly...a wonderful card. x

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks so much Pat😊😊

[@XenobiaF]

Years of spraying paint has taught me to turn the bottle upside down and spray to clear the nozzle then wipe it off. I’ve never had one clog.

[@Chrissieannie]

That’s worth knowing!

[@carolynmccall4429]

Love this background and the little stencil. Beautiful card.

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks so much!😊😊❤️

[@karenreeves3958]

This is a very pretty card. I love the distress sprayed background. And I love the Happy Birthday die. Beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

[@Chrissieannie]

It’s my pleasure 😊

[@dozersdesigns6147]

Christine, another way I have used the glaze is by smooching distress oxides on glossy paper, waiting for them to dry and then glazing over the inks. It brightens them up beautifully.

[@Chrissieannie]

Yes I have used as intended too, but this time I thought I’d try something a little different 😊

[@dozersdesigns6147]

It turned out lovely.

[@carlabundy563]

This is a lovely card! I love the soft colors.

[@Chrissieannie]

@@carlabundy563 thanks 😊

[@helenwallace4870]

Sorry to learn about all the humbug as you attempted to upload. Like you, I fell in love with speckled egg the moment I saw it and your combination is a match made in Heaven. A beautiful result from your experiment with the Renke dies adding a touch of class. TFS

[@Chrissieannie]

It’s a great mix isn’t it Helen 🩵🧡🩵

[@teresamcdaniel3554]

Interesting experiment! I think the glaze is made to be used as a sort of sealer for the Distress products, to keep them from reacting further to water, but I really like the effect you got by using it first. It looks like the spray kind of beaded up on the paper. I guess we make some great discoveries by not following the “rules”! I really like the stencil you used as well. Turned out quite beautifully 💕

[@Chrissieannie]

Many thanks! I’ve only used the glaze for its intended purpose previously, but it was fun to try something different!

[@peggystoop4196]

Love speckled egg as well! The subtle look of this card is so charming. The white edge does look best in my humble opinion!😉 so many challenges in every day creating and this would happen to me! Beautiful card today!

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks Peggy ❤️❤️❤️

[@poppletop8331]

Gorgeous card Chris. I absolutely love the techniques you've used, I also think these colours would be great on a masculine card, with maybe a few cogs. Thank you for sharing your design.😃🌼

[@Chrissieannie]

My pleasure 😊

[@jnelson8732]

I really love this card!! You have outdone yourself yet again!

[@Chrissieannie]

Many thanks 😊😊😊

[@bonnerdebbie]

Beautiful card Chris, I love the color combination and the resist. I am sure you have heard all the ways to keep them from clogging, I just hope they work so you will continue to use and enjoy them. Thank you!

[@Chrissieannie]

Yes I have🤣🤣🤣

[@laurasherrick2210]

Suddenly every time I watch your videos, I have to subscribe again. (Don't worry, I'll do it as often as I have to) Anyway, I absolutely love this technique. I can't wait to try it. Love the finished card. Thank you for another inspiring video.

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks so much for checking your subscription. It is irritating isn’t it! Thanks for your kind words!😊😊😊

[@jeanhiebert3425]

Beautiful card! Perhaps a shimmer pen over the letters would have disguised the glue

[@Chrissieannie]

The water spray seemed to help!

[@nancyrolfe3033]

It was so much fun to watch you experiment and I am thankful you didn’t mind trying it out with us! No one else does….lol. We all love you for doing things like this ❤ I adored everything about your card!! I can definitely understand how strongly you dislike the shiny glue showing. I can’t tolerate it either on my cards! Thanks to you I learned about microdots and they are great for delicate and tiny die cuts. I’ve learned so much from you as I’d just made my first card this year! Today I learned another trick…to put the card up on something prior to swiping the edges. You are so clever!! Again, I loved your card. I’ve purchased a few sprays from Hobby Lobby when they had 75% off of everything Tim Holtz. I’ve never used them but will definitely try them. I’d thought Id used that glaze in the 70’s but it was a different name and by a different ladies brand. Sure enough Tim Holtz used it and got Ranger to buy the right to use using his product line. Now, I can’t remember the name of it!! Just interesting how items come back around… I remember using Diamond Dust also during the 70’s on some craft items. Just thought I’d share with someone and you were the person. Lucky Chris 😂😂. I’ve used the product to seal the paint after I was finished but was blown away at your idea and how neat it looked. I so appreciate you and your generosity in sharing everything…❤ Nancy Rolfe

[@Chrissieannie]

Nancy, thanks so much for writing such a detailed and interesting comment. I am heartened to hear that you are enjoying your crafting more because of things you have picked up from my videos, that’s wonderful and long may it continue 😊😊😊

[@user-vy9uy4eq1q]

Lovely colors together. Maybe you could add some pearls for that something more.

[@Chrissieannie]

I did! Did you notice in the finished card at the end of the video?

[@MandyRye-rc3fc]

Hi Chris, a very pretty card today,I quite like the different effect of the glaze and sprays,I have never used them myself, thanks for an interesting demo.😀

[@Chrissieannie]

You are so welcome😊

[@amyb82941]

💜💜💜 your card turned out so pretty! Thank you

[@Chrissieannie]

Glad you liked it!!💜💜💜

[@carolinewattie9224]

A very successful experiment

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks ❤️❤️❤️

[@janetingacollins6409]

Those colors are lovely together. Pity that glue was so troublesome.

[@Chrissieannie]

A lesson learned!😊

[@bethjeans3780]

There’s a card maker who uses Distress Glaze all over her Oxide backgrounds and cards to make the color a bit clearer/brighter. I wonder if the Glaze would disguise the little glue glop you don’t like (that I can’t see), just something to test down the road? It also waterproofs. Jess Makes Cards is the card maker, if I’m not mistaken. (Ranger Multi Medium Matte dries matte/invisible.) More importantly, love your card design and soft colors so much!

[@Chrissieannie]

The spritz of water I gave the card solved my problem! I’ve only ever used the glaze as it is intended to be used previously, but this time I thought I’d experiment!😊😊😊

[@deborahbloor442]

Beautiful card!

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks so much!

[@janetlunn9502]

I have never bought the sprays either as they are so expensive. Love the effect with the glaze though. Great idea with inking the edge of the card as I always get in such a mess!! ❤

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks so much! 😊… I often get in a mess too 🤣

[@Tokyokie]

I love the way the background turned out.

[@Chrissieannie]

@@Tokyokie thanks😊😊😊

[@suebrown7882]

Pretty card and a perfect colour combination. Regarding ink clean-ups - cheap supermarket hand sanitiser gel works on lots of inks - even Stazon!

[@Chrissieannie]

Great tip!

[@barbluecht3500]

I agree that the glue shine is annoying and I had to add another layer to my text on a card in the past… what a great idea to just add more sparkle instead of the tedious addition of another layer 😂

[@Chrissieannie]

😊😊😊 thanks

[@curtain1750]

Love this one.

[@Chrissieannie]

Glad you like it!😊

[@cindym9851]

Beautiful card Christine. I have to say, I too am very disappointed in the Nuvo glue pen. It doesn’t flow evenly out of the nib, and then the nib gets all clumpy with its own glue, and then doesn’t work at all. Microdots may have made your job easier.

[@Chrissieannie]

I just thought it would cover the delicate sentiment easily, which it did, but actually sticking wasn’t so good!

[@sharronemerson2930]

Another experiment would be to let the sprays dry naturally and then buff. The glaze has some wax in it so may have melted. Both effects are interesting. 😊🇨🇦

[@Chrissieannie]

I was rather impatient and wanted to get on… hence using the heat gun, I’ll continue to play

[@geraldinehitch9565]

I really really love this card it's lovely x

[@Chrissieannie]

Many thanks 😊😊😊

[@helensheppard8435]

Love it.

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks 🤍🤍🤍

[@pauladyer9845]

Nice experiment..I liked the effect…and the sentiment is great. Thanks

[@Chrissieannie]

Glad you liked it!

[@john-kathymassarello9118]

Love this! Colors look great!

[@Chrissieannie]

Thank you so much!😊😊😊

[@suemsearch]

Gorgeous colours and quite an unexpected effect. I really like it. I have occasionally tried a light splatter of white paint with a fine brush when I’ve had a bit of glue showing and it has worked well to disguise the shine ❤❤❤

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks so much 😊 I like that idea!

[@rochestermanagementservice6082]

Love the two oxide colors, Chris. Classy card. Thanks for having a play with us! From Cheryl in AZ

[@Chrissieannie]

You are so welcome!

[@Honeybee1975..]

Beautiful! Love it!❤

[@Chrissieannie]

Thank you! 😊

[@karensims1272]

I absolutely love the way this turned out. Just gorgeous. ❤

[@Chrissieannie]

Thank you so much!😊😊😊

[@markandcindihoskins6925]

I absolutely love the background!!! Speckled Egg & Pumice Stone are my favorite colors and combination!! Your background remind me of a beach, the edge of the water as it pulls back over the sand!!! Just beautiful!!! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@Chrissieannie]

Thank you so much!

[@TheLpage]

That color combo is a favorite of mine as well. Beautiful card. Love all the aspects.

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks so much!😊

[@kcinca5410]

Ranger Ink does have replacement nozzles for Distress sprays for when they get clogged. They also have empty spray bottles with the bearings in them and tips for alcohol inks. They're quite reasonable. Tim had them stock a bunch of these kind of tools for crafters who had problems with mica clogging and who like to create their own concoctions. Perhaps there's a company in UK that sells Ranger products with shipping being so crazy. Shame about that Nuvo glue. I like your final results. Very nice for an experiment. Would that mine worked out so well. Well, sometimes they do.

[@Chrissieannie]

I have lots of skinny pen like spray bottles that I decant various products into when the nozzles become blocked, but they get blocked from time to time too!🤣

[@cherylbrady2345]

Pretty card

[@Chrissieannie]

Thank you ❤️❤️❤️

[@michelegourd5742]

What a lovely card!! I do not have much luck with the sprays they seem to always get clog. So I do not use them!!

[@Chrissieannie]

I don’t use them too often!

[@kathyroberts9703]

Beautiful card, Christine! Using my two favorite colors, as well! People think I’m odd when asked my favorite color and I reply Blues and Taupe!

[@Chrissieannie]

So true!

[@jimandpegzeleznik19]

That’s a lovely card, Christine! I’ve often wondered if that glaze would act as a resist, but never tried it! Thanks for sharing a great result!!!

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks so much 😊

[@kathysass9829]

Love those colors together. Beautiful card❣️🇺🇸

[@Chrissieannie]

Me too!!

[@carolebrassington4338]

Loved watching you play. Card turned out beautiful. Colours are gorgeous together. Just ordered some distress oxide sprays myself. I’m going to give this a go. TFS🥰

[@Chrissieannie]

Have fun!😊😊😊

[@moirahansen1955]

Lovely card. Thank you. Looking forward to more experimenting. 👏🙂💕

[@Chrissieannie]

Wonderful!😊

[@Techartskitty]

Always enjoy your experiments, Christine😊

[@Chrissieannie]

I'm so glad!

[@XenobiaF]

I have to try that color combination. It’s really pretty.

[@Chrissieannie]

I love these colours together

[@yvonnegottsch4385]

Put your nuvo glue on your mat then rub your sentiment onto it so it doesn't get so much glue

[@Chrissieannie]

Although I use this technique with white glue from time to time, I don’t think it would work with the glue pen!

[@margewilcox7025]

Maybe that glue has to set up a little before trying to adhere?

[@Chrissieannie]

That could help!

[@bowler8]

I make my own alcohol spray inks with the insides of old felt tip pens and 91% isopropyl alcohol

[@Chrissieannie]

Great!

[@jeanwinkler7885]

This is very cool. It reminds me of the beach

[@Chrissieannie]

I know what you mean ❤️

[@juliecurtis9517]

If you wipe the nozzle off after each use it won't clog.

[@Chrissieannie]

😊

[@fionnawheatley9095]

Love the experimentation!

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks ❤️❤️❤️

[@maureencharlessparrow8230]

My favourite colour combo. I must look up sprays. Bought them never used them. Wonder if I could get a similar effect with gel plate, lace and stencils.

[@Chrissieannie]

Go for it!

[@charliewallace5375]

You are so inspiring!😊

[@Chrissieannie]

Thank you so much!

[@nonnajoymadrigal6025]

Love this Chris! Is that watercolor paper that you used? Thanks so very much.

[@Chrissieannie]

No, it’s just my regular cardstock!

[@Techartskitty]

I have the inks pads and the glaze and will see if i can get a similar effect

[@Chrissieannie]

Have fun!❤️

[@PegHarkrader]

there are erasers that will rub off the glue

[@Chrissieannie]

I have ink erasers, an electric eraser and glue erasers besides regular ones, I just use whatever I think will work for any particular occasion.

[@glendamiller8081]

Love the card did you deliberately take the stencil off before you sprayed

[@Chrissieannie]

I certainly did, I wanted the ink on the parts that the stencil had been covering!

[@hazelsavill1497]

Ooo. You are brave trying things out on video 😮. I'm wondering if you should have lay some paper towel over the ink before drying with the heat tool. A fab card with a subtle background. I use Ranger multimedium matt in a syringe if I'm sticking thin things where the glue might ooze out as it doesn't dry shiney

[@Chrissieannie]

Interesting, thanks

[@susanstukane1272]

Would the rubber eraser take the glue off that you see?

[@Chrissieannie]

Not between the tiny gaps in the sentiment!

[@sueyB123]

Love this card and the colour combo. I have a couple of Nuvo glue pens and hate them! Are the Charlie and Paulchen distressed square dies old? Couldn’t find them on their site?

[@Chrissieannie]

I’ve had them for quite a while

[@sueyB123]

Thought that might be the case but thanks for replying!

[@sallysutherland7257]

Would running your embossing powder tool over the glossy glue work to reduce the shine?

[@Chrissieannie]

The spritz of water did the trick. Did you see the picture of the finished card?

[@TracieSuch]

Is it too late to stick another layer of HAPPY BIRTHDAY on top of the glue one?

[@Chrissieannie]

It’s fine now!

[@blijkegaal-kool9925]
