Thank you so much for this video Chrissie, you have inspired me! I love listening to you as I can hear the lovely, calm and gentle teacher that I am sure you were. I have spent most of my life as a teaching assistant in primary schools (qualified Nursery Nurse) and just loved working with teachers who were able to bring out the best in children by their calm and gentle demeanor. That transposes so well to sharing these videos!

[@Chrissieannie]

You sound like the sort of person I loved having at my side in the classroom! Thanks so much🤍🤍🤍

More beautiful cards Christine, and a fun technique that I look forward to trying out. I've been unsubscribed from lots of channels, even though I give a thumbs up to every single video I watch. Bah humbug KZbin!

Ditto, that sentiment!😕

[@islahaworth5887]

Thank you Christine for answering the question before I asked it. I have avoided using the powders ever since I made my grandson a card with monsters on and the background was like outer space. He loved it but his Mum didn't because his hands kept getting the powder transferred then it transferred to his mouth. Grandma in trouble again 😁😁xxxx

@@Chrissieannie I completely agree with you about some unlistenable off putting grating voices - Coupled with your talented gently paced tutorials you have a distinctive beautiful speaking voice that engages & focuses on your artwork- making it easier to follow in an unhurried or rushed way.

On the subject of subscriptions, I seem to recall that at some point KZbin changed their system as to how subscriptions were offered through an actual video itself, then somehow it seemed to change that you would be subscribed if you went in to check the person's channel. Perhaps I'm not saying this well. My thought is that when the system changed by KZbin, that actually might have been what caused you to lose so many subscriptions. My other thought is that sometimes when I go into view someone's channel it seems like I see the word subscribe or subscribed switch. Just my rambling thoughts.

Chris...YOU ROCK! This is my favorite technique of all time! I have a TINY cardmaking group on FB and my ladies call me the "Queen of Brushos" because Brushos and any kind of pigment powder, ESPECIALLY with shimmer are my favorite medium. THANK YOU for posting this! I can now send people HERE when they ask me, how did you do that? 😁 Also, THANK YOU for wearing gloves! Pigment powders are so hard to get off your hands and out of under your nails. Gloves are a MUST for me. I was drinking a cup of coffee while watching your video and almost choked on that with laughter when you used the term "Pig's Breakfast". You are simply the BEST. Lots of love from Claudia in Santa Fe, NM USA

What an awesome idea!! I had never seen this before!! Thanks so much for sharing!! Could use eye shadow or perfect pearls instead?

[@Chrissieannie]

Why not try!😊

[@dixieallen7684]

This is how I use up my out dated eye shadow.

[@Chrissieannie]

@@dixieallen7684 great idea!

This is a beautiful card. I wasn’t sure how it was going to look with the flower petals but you got it in the end. Thanks for showing how you made that paper. It’s a great technique. I have pixie powders, do you think they would work? Thanks Christine, have a nice day

[@Chrissieannie]

I'm sure they would work, but there's one way to find out!😀😀😀

Brusho’s are great for this technique

[@Chrissieannie]

What a beautiful card. I love the idea of partial die cutting and then having the focal point on the 'line'. Lovely Thanks for sharing your technique and ideas. Hopefully you will be up to 20k in no time! Happy New Year to you and yours, and congrats on your anniversary!

Very many thanks 😄😄😄
