Making monochrome interesting - new Distress Embossing

[@helenwallace4870]

Your bees love the "Wild Honey" to land on where they slurp up the nectar! A bit like your followers, slurping up all the tips and tricks you share so generously. Congratulations on nearing your Golden Wedding Anniversary; our next one will be 55! Thanks once again. 🐝🐝

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks so much Helen, I think we were sort of late starters with the wedding thingy. We were 28 when we got married!🧡🧡🧡

After waking up to two foot of snow on my drive am stuck indoors. I cannot even get out to feed the birds so watching your wonderful video has helped cheer me up. Thanks for your time , it is appreciated.

[@Chrissieannie]

Hope the pesky snow clears very soon…after you’ve had time to appreciate how pretty it looks 😊

Thank you for yet another informative tutorial Christine you make your cards look effortless. I agree with Kathy below you are an artist. Take care.

I love Tim Holtz embossing glazes because they are transparent, love how your stamping showed through it. I was leaving work and mentioned to my boss I was using bees in my art journal, so she asked if I could make a bee themed card for a baby shower she could not attend. I made 3 cards using a couple of different bee dies and bees with wings of vellum or acetate, she picked one, then showed me the printed invite and my bees matched the theme. I had a blast using different products and she got a card that met her expectations. I wish I had given the bees a "full belly"! Thanks Christine, you always make beautiful cards!

[@Chrissieannie]

Sounds like you had fun and made everyone happy, that's what is all about! 😊😊❤️❤️❤️

Hi. Thank you for sharing this beautiful card and all your wonderful chitchat, it really makes my day! I thought of you and some of gorgeous cards the other day after I'd had a bit of a go at a multimedia style card panel using craft card and some leftover scraps from other projects. In an effort to get rid of the 'dystopian nightmare' look that I'd managed to create I added some pearly gold, black and green accents and it still looked a bit rough and this is where your lovely cards and style saved the day....I made some pretty little butterflies, cut the panel up into long rectangles and stuck some bits of white bubble style die cuts across them, gave each of them a craft border and added the butterflies once a strip was adhered to a card base and Bob's your uncle! I ended up with four pretty cards that were almost as fabulous as yours were so I was feeling rather chuffed with myself and it was all down to you and your wonderful talent. Yes, you saved my panel and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Oh dear, sorry.... I'm waffling again. 🤣 Have a great weekend and congratulations on your upcoming big wedding anniversary!

I think your very brave filming your video when your not sure what your going to do, I can sit at my desk with all different stuff around me for half an hour and still don’t always end up with a finished card or even one I like . I must take an example of your thought process and try not to over think things or make them too busy. Another beautiful card Christine, love the bee die . Thank you ❤

[@Chrissieannie]

Did you see my Advent calendar videos with Gummiapan dies? That was a real challenge, making a card a day, with for the most part, an unseen die! It was great fun though! I'm so glad you like my videos.😊

I really never get that embossing powder with the inks as I didn’t think I would use them very much, but then I see all the lovely things you are doing with them……..I love this card and I think doing bee things are important, as they are so important in our lives. I am also very happy that you respond here and on FB. Makes you rather special and fun to follow!❤

Love that you're working with the embossing glazes! A word of caution about the Emboss It dabber...I didn't think I was getting good coverage with it and tried to squeeze more out. The top exploded off with embossing medium going everywhere and the top (sponge) won't stay on now. LOL Adventures in crafting!!! Wonderful card!

I love that you're using the embossing glaze. I need to get mine out and play. (Do I say that with every video you post? Seems like it.) I definitely need the reminder to shape my die cuts.

I wonder how onion skin paper would work in place of the vellum. Any thoughts?

[@Chrissieannie]

I've not heard of onion skin paper and if you have some, why not try it out to see?

[@halcyonyorks4454]

@@Chrissieannie It's very thin, translucent paper, similar to the paper skin of an onion. It was used for carbon copies in the age of typewriters, and also for air mail correspondence because it weighs next to nothing. I have some left over from my dad's office. One of these days, I'll play with it and let you know what I discover. 😀
