I have been watching and enjoying the multiple gilding flake videos you have presented. Thank you.

[@Chrissieannie]

They are fun aren’t they! ❤️❤️❤️

[@helenwallace4870]

What a lateral thinker you are Chris. I was just looking at Gilding Flakes and wishing they had more colours in the range, but no need, because you've invented a work around. Splendid idea with the hairspray too. Your teaching style is so appealing; I learn so much and laugh a lot. Thank you.

[@Chrissieannie]

I have discovered that there are actually more colours than I thought available…. But at a price, so I’m quite pleased with the ink and hairspray option! 😁😁😁

[@anniekempton9193]

Omgosh! U JUST opened up the door to a Bunch of cool ideas!!! LOVE this !! Definitely trying this with my Christmas cards!!! Thanks soooooo much for sharing this 😀

[@Chrissieannie]

Have fun! 💚💚💚

Thanks Christine, great card. I have wanted color in my gilding flakes since I saw a later video of you using some with green in it, but having 3 jars already could not justify buying more. You just solved that problem, now I have to find some hairspray.🤩

[@CraftyDawn]

What a wonderful idea. I’m looking forward to trying out this technique. I often use eyeshadow to add colour and then seal it with hairspray. It gives a lovely subtle look. Unusual I know, but it works. Crafty hugs - Dawn 🌅

[@Chrissieannie]

We’ll I don’t think I would have thought of eye shadow… I wouldn’t want to waste my good ones on cards though!! 😁😁😁 thanks xx Dawn ❤️❤️❤️

[@carolbatchelor5855]

I like your method of adding the flakes to card first then die cut. I did it backwards not fun. Adding the ink and hairspray Is brilliant. I'm going to start an art journal to log these techniques

[@amandalock9510]

Chrissie, what fun you’re having in this series of gilding flake videos! This is a particularly lovely idea. I, too had endeavoured to find a variegated pot of flakes - with some reds or greens for Christmas but to no avail here in Australia. I’ve not had a chance to experiment but had thought about alcohol inks daubed onto the gilded panel before die cutting; but I take it from your remarks, that wasn’t successful. So this video proved very helpful! I have an artists fixative spray which I’ve used for fixing colouring mediums, so I’m all set to have a go! Thanks once again. It was great fun!

[@Chrissieannie]

There’s nothing quite like having a bit of fun! It was alcohol ink on the flakes which wasn’t so successful not alcohol inks on the Gilding!

[@amandalock9510]

@@Chrissieannie so it might be worth trying them daubed on the gilded panel perhaps 🤔. Was thinking of using a sponge dauber or a cotton bud perhaps.

[@Chrissieannie]

I think it's definitely worth a go!

[@joannep8983]

Simply beautiful..never thought to use oxides with gilding flakes. Love your work!

Lovely video , Christine, I might give this a go 😊 I do have variegated flakes from Cosmic Shimmer and have just bought a pot of the newly released flakes from LaviniaStamps. I’m a huge fan of the Julie Hickey profile dies. I don’t have Christmas, I can see a purchase in my future 🤣

[@Chrissieannie]

Sounds like you may be in for some fun! , Thanks 💚💚💚

[@patriciagoode6280]

Lovely demonstration, but could you just create another flake creation of your own by adding some other flakes i.e. greens for this design and then keep it in a separate tub. If you have various colour flakes the combinations you could create are endless.

[@Chrissieannie]

I don’t actually have any green flakes which is why I tried this technique!

[@loftymakes]

Beautiful card, I really need to have a play with my gilding flakes, FYI Crafters Companion do quite a variety of bright colours (pinks/green/blue etc) of flakes now, not a mix but you could mix your own 💗

[@Chrissieannie]

Thank you, Crafters Companion is not a company that I had checked for gilding flakes, I must take a look!💛🧡💚🤍

@@Chrissieannie I think they only started producing them this last year 💗

[@kcinca5410]

So inspiring. I love the color rustic wilderness. Luckily, I found flakes with green in them. I think they were called Enchanted Forest. I wonder if distress micro glaze would work for setting the ink. Of course, I don't think it'll diffuse the color.

[@tracylee4442]

Could you drop clear embossing powder on it and seal it that way, do you think?

[@Chrissieannie]

You would need some Versamark or something to get the EP to stick all over but that wouldn't diffuse the oxide ink.
