If you go over the sticky hearts with your cornstarch pillow, it de-sticks them. Love this, tfs❤

[@greetjeb7030]

I wanted to say that too😊

[@robinlane9306]

Thank you!

[@angelaharnett6437]

Looking forward t9 part 2

[@nbcascards]

Thanks for the tip! I'll give it a go - although I'm wondering if the corn starch will dull the shine a little. There's only one way to find out ... :)

FABULOUS start to the new series!!! I have lots of Pearl Ex powders from years ago. Thank you for reminding us that other types of pigment powders can be used by just adding a binder. I really appreciate that your videos offer us alternatives so we can use what we have. And I love the look of your gilding flakes mixed with the pigment powders! Looking forward to new ideas and techniques. Thank you! 🩷 (and your card is beautiful!)

🙋🏻‍♀️ I scrolled through a lot of the comments and didn’t see my question, so hopefully I’m not making you answer it again. On the glue tests, with the double sided tape, couldn’t you just add some more pigment powder to take away the residual stick? This video has been extremely informative and helpful, thanks 🙏

[@jackieelliott2913]

Fab card, I love the addition of the gilding flake, tfs

[@nbcascards]

Thanks so much!

[@MargueriteAtHome]

Super pretty! I appreciate the inclusion of the flakes. I seem to always think there’s A WAY everything is supposed to be done (silly, I know), and I would have thought I should break down the flakes to be more background-ish. Yours are so much prettier! Thank you, Natalie! 😊

[@nbcascards]

Thanks, Marguerite! You know what they say ... rules are made to be broken! :)

[@yvonnegottsch4385]

Add velum over the sticky hearts

You can stamp with the stamp pad that comes with the perfect pearls. Or try the versamark. Stamp the clear ink and swipe the perfect pearls on top. Let dry and wipe of with a soft clean cloth.

[@ladyhawkj6493]

Beautiful card and great idea. I have the Pixie Shimmer Powders and find that they “shed” (release the sparkle). Even spraying with hairspray didn’t help. Is it just me or does anyone else have the same problem with the Pixie Shimmer Powders?

[@nbcascards]

Thanks! Maybe add some gun arabic, or gel hairspray into your spray bottle. :)

[@noreenhennessy9299]

[@nbcascards]

[@sueallen4556]

How do perfect pearls fit into these powders? Love your videos

[@nbcascards]

Perfect Pearls contain pigment, mica and a built in resin that makes them easy to use wet and dry. Check out the Ranger website for more info. I don't have any, but it sounds like they will work the same as the powders I've shown in this video. x

[@jennythandrayen5445]

Thank you for all your very informative videos.What texture paste did you use in this video when mixing it with pigment powders?

[@nbcascards]

I have Liquitex Light Modelling Paste which is pretty quick drying and translucent. Any white texture paste would work though. Thanks for watching! x

[@jennythandrayen5445]

@@nbcascards many thanks for the reply so much to learn but great fun.

[@susanmorris1007]

How do mica powders fit in? Do they not have pigments or binder in them?

[@nbcascards]

Mica powders may just contain mica - I think they're meant to be mixed with other things like resin. If you have mica powders, check out the manufacturer's website to see what's in them and how to best use them. :)

[@shirleyoates4584]

Are the pigment powders the same as mica powder ?

[@nbcascards]

It depends on the brand and what they put in their powders? Some mica powders only contain mica (the shiny stuff) but some will contain pigment as well. Check out the manufacturer's website to see what yours contain. x

[@jennythandrayen5445]

Can you use any sort of glue for this technique?

[@nbcascards]

It needs to be a glue that’s tacky when dry, like the ones I showed in the video.

[@jennythandrayen5445]

@@nbcascards I see many thanks I’m still learning.
