Don't you just love it, when you dont thinking will turn out hood and it's a pleasant surprise in the end. I like the black and gold with the multi coloured guilding flakes. Great idea using adhesive sheets in embossing folder. ❤

There you have it! The creative “brain gears” got out the gloves and tongs and pulled the trash from the fire and made it into a treasure! Well done you! Not just clever but humorous to boot! You and l are the same age, 1944 vintage l believe… Wrote a ditty yesterday you may enjoy… “l looked around…. The snow was gone and Spring was here. I looked again…. to my surprise…. the snow was hiding in my mirror.” 😮Not everyone will get it… but think you might! Thanks for another delightful “bit of play”. Be blessed as you bless.🙋🏼‍♀️

[@mariabromwich8897]

I really enjoyed watching how you rescued the panel when it didn’t quite turn out as you’d expected. It was a beautiful result. I had a bit of a hiccup with gilding flakes the other day. It’s been a bit chilly, so I’d put the heating on. We have reverse cycle aircon, where the air comes through ceiling vents and kicks in every now and again to keep the room at the set temperature. My craft table is under a ceiling vent. Yep. I discovered gilding flakes will cling to more than just glue and silcone😂

[@Chrissieannie]

Oh dear!😀😀😀

[@joannclupper7902]

Recently I watched a KZbin video of a lady named Heidi doing something that made me think of you. I kept thinking Christine would love this. Christine would love this. What Heidi did was she used a very fine point tacky glue pen to make different size circles. She used her heat tool to set the tacky glue. Then she used gilding flakes on the circles. They were absolutely breathtaking.

[@Chrissieannie]

Sounds like a great idea!😊

Hi. That card is just fabulous. The dark vintage look of the florals against the bright, splashy metallic background really speaks to me. It's truly fabulous. Around the same time as I got my fancy electric eraser I also treated myself to a mini vacuum cleaner (Made To Surprise) for a fast clean-up of my desk and it works very well despite only being battery run. Thank you for sharing this great video and have a lovely day.😊

This turned out much like some backgrounds that we don't necessarily love, but using it in small pieces and it's beautiful. I did like the black ink on top, but once you heat embossed it, I liked it even more. But to much to use the whole thing. The small piece you used is just gorgeous, your card will be gorgeous! I love the black background with the gold mat. Very elegant, and yes a little bit oriental looking. Hugs, Brenda

What a remarkable recovery Chris. I would have run up the white flag after the black layer, but in your inimitable fashion, you took a left at Albuquerque and ended up in the winner's circle. Fantastic result. The use of the gilded section for the sentiment ties it all together perfectly. TFS

so love watching your process. I had several "failures" this week and did a bit of a rescue but I assure you the outcome was nowhere near your masterpiece. 🙂 And I'm now looking up "shall we let the dog see the rabbit?" Love my afternoon Chris session. Thank you

[@Chrissieannie]

Many thanks Viki. I think the phrase is to do with greyhound racing. They have a thing that looks like a rabbit which belts around the track on a rail, and when it goes past the traps where the dogs are, their gates are opened (letting them see the rabbit) and they tear around after it!

[@susanhamilton8370]

You rescued it with that clever frame :) When I have spent time making something that turns out a bit iffy, especially if heat embossed, I cut the piece into narrow strips most of which can look super laid down towards the side of a card or as a border. No one can work out the original design but the texture & colour remain.

I did use an embossing folder with a small floral design!! I love this technique!!!❤❤❤

[@patmoore365]

This turned out beautifully Chrissie, and actually the depth of the embossing did show up the design well but may have been difficult for you to see under your strong light, and all things are personal choice I know, but with the black it does look much more striking and the glossy finish is perfect. I love that you used just a small portion and is finished brilliantly with the frame, and the added die cut sentiment using some more of the gilded piece with that soft gold base layer looks terrific. x

Thank you for taking us on your adventures in crafting! So many tips in this video. It would have been interesting to see how the distress oxide worked, though keeping some of the black would still offset those colors beautifully.

I think I like the effect without the black better. Im a less is more kind of crafter usually. wonder about using a rust colored ink instead of the black? Will need to get some of that delicious gilding flake color and give that a try. Love your adventuresome nature.

[@Chrissieannie]

I didn’t like the black once I had done it but made the best of a bad job! I like the end result!

[@mamapillow8365]

I have resisted multicolor gilding flakes until I saw this, what a great idea. Also it was interesting to see the black ink on the large piece of embossing, it looked like a giant stamp on camera. Something that size might work well for a decorative piece. Thank you for the inspiration. I admire your ability to take just a piece and make it your own.

I enjoyed watching you work through the "problems. I've made many cards using this technique. Some were beautiful, some not so successful. I have mixed feelings about the Stazon. I noticed that on some of the cards it remains tacky, never feeling quite dry. I'll use your idea about adding the clear embossing powder. Thanks for the suggestion.

[@Chrissieannie]

My pleasure 😊

[@suemsearch]

You are so clever at rescuing a project. I liked it before you heat embossed but it was so much more dramatic afterwards. The sentiment is inspired as well. I love how you have used the coloured card underneath the wording. It’s so subtle but really impactful and ties the two elements together perfectly. Genius. You are the queen of card making🫅🏼🥇🌟

[@kcinca5410]

I've seen others do this technique but they add the flakes first, then emboss. What a gorgeous end result. I'm ready to have my play with all my gilding flakes and embossing folders. I've gotten a few colors of Staz-on as I don't want to only have black as a option but it looks like oxides might also work (and maybe even better). I have quite a few embossing folders featuring trees so I'm thinking Fall or Winter cards maybe. Adding the embossing powder made quite a difference. Not sure I would have thought of that. Off to stalk your card.

Hi Christine, I have a question for you 😊. I’ve just had my first go with gilding flakes and I’m not sure where I’ve gone wrong. I used some double sided adhesive paper and cut out my die as usual. I put the gilding flakes over the surface as I’ve seen my guru (you😊) do many times, but after I had finished burnishing the surface, there is a tacky residue. Is this normal or do you think I’ve gone wrong somewhere? Thank you ☺️
