Similar tile, similar materials, different coloured bases. Which do you prefer?

[@vikijerke621]

Lovely. For me it's the white one because I can see all the incredible details. Embossing, gilding, layers. It's just lovely. I think this might lend itself very well to a southwestern theme of blue and copper patinas. Just seems that it would be perfect!

[@Chrissieannie]

Thank you so much!❤️💛🤍

[@debbienix5790]

I never thought of using my grayer to get those difficult glued pieces to stay onto the card! That’s why I love you! You have great ideas! Thanks!

[@Chrissieannie]

You are so welcome!😊😊😊

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Thank you so much Christine I really really enjoyed watching you creating these amazing tile’s. They are both very very beautiful and stunning too. I really really love ❤️ both of them, but the white is my favourite one too. Such a lot on those dear little base’s. They would be nice framed too. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags

[@Chrissieannie]

Many thanks ❤️❤️❤️

[@barbarahill6365]

Ooooh I love that Brayer trick you used to adhere the heart die! I learn so much!

Like them both but the white shows off the elements better! Will make a gorgeous card. Thanks for sharing your talent❣️

Thanks so much!😊😊😊

[@ardieatkinson7408]

They are both beautiful but the white one catches my eye ..love watching you and listening to your chats it’s a great way to start my day..thank you my friend for sharing your wonderful ideas❤

[@Chrissieannie]

Thank you so much😊😊😊

[@jeandeane5593]

I am on the same par with everyone they are both stunning but I like the white one too, me thinks your enjoying your dabble into mixed media . I think the steampunk colours show up beautifully on the black card you demonstrated the other day . Thanks Christine xx

[@Chrissieannie]

It was because of the colours that I intended using that I tried the white... The steampunk was fine on the black as you say. Interesting isn't it! 😊😊😊

[@CherylNZ]

Great tutorial, I actually liked both. Thankyou for your time Christine.

[@Chrissieannie]

Many thanks😊😊😊

[@halcyonyorks4454]

Very different looks, both stunning! I am going to have to try my hand at this.

Love the white one but the black one is gorgeous as well. All your cards always turn out elegant though!

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks so much ❤️🤍💛

[@markandcindihoskins6925]

Both are beautiful but the white is my favorite one!!❤❤❤

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks 😊😊😊

[@debbieekes5718]

I love the white one more this time, but the dark one would be beautiful with a darker background for a man. Thanks for sharing your experiments with us. You are very talented and generous.

Thanks so much 😊😊😊

Love both can't wait to see the finished cards.

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks, they are on Instagram. 😊😊😊

[@valdaevans]

@@Chrissieannie I do prefer the white version of the finished cards, more detail can be seen.

[@vickirivera2240]

I really love love love the white!

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks so much 😊😊😊

[@nellgilmour5388]

They're both lovely. But I must say, the one made on white card is my favorite!

[@Chrissieannie]

Thank you 😊😊😊

[@clarefancy-mcghee7850]

Agree, the white one for me, but they are both beautiful. Such a fun new technique to try. Looking forward to giving it a go. Got my delivery sat from indigoblu (thanks to your discount code). Think I might try some Valentine's cards too. 🥰🥰🥰

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks... Have fun! 😊😊😊

[@caronjackson386]

Definitely the white base ❤ 😊

[@Chrissieannie]

😊😊😊

[@bettyareson6098]

Love the white one too but the black one might be great for a masculine card. Love listening to you.

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks Betty 😊😊😊

[@maungl]

What she said!! ☺️😘

[@stellareeves3759]

Love them both but the black one is my favourite. Love a little drama 🤣

[@Chrissieannie]

😊❤️💛❤️

[@charlottemcclelland8372]

White, definitely!

[@Chrissieannie]

😊😊😊

[@deannaberman908]

Definitely the light one because all the elements stand out better....when so many layers are added it is nice when they all shine. That being said, I love the dark one and think it would be brilliant on a colored panel.

[@Chrissieannie]

😊😊😊 that’s why I put it on sone deep pink 😀

[@debbiej2585]

They are both very pretty, but I like the white one best!

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks 😊😊😊

[@karensims1272]

I love both as well but I think the white is the winner.

[@carlenejake]

Love the white one!

[@maryjones3369]

Great techniques! I love the end result! Probably the white is my favorite ❤️❤️

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@deballen7031]

Hi. Thanks for sharing another of your marvelous videos. I liked the shine on the black one but I must be starting to come out of my Christmas card making stage and coming into birthday card mode now as I thought that the colours of the white one were perfect for it. Both are very nice though so it was a difficult decision but I will opt for the white one...just until I change my mind again! 😂

[@Chrissieannie]

Different looks for different occasions perhaps! 😊😊😊

[@barbaracarlson1331]

I really like what you have done. I think the white shows better but both are lovely.

[@Chrissieannie]

Thank you 😊😊😊

[@sushanart]

I prefer the white base. The colours look clearer and the structures are more visible. 😇💖🙏🙌

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks 😊

[@whiteherondesigns]

They're both gorgeous, although the white one is just ahead of the black! x

[@Chrissieannie]

Thank you 😊😊😊

[@karadelahoussaye5896]

Both are beautiful, but I really like the brightness of the white one. Thank you for your continued journeys into the unknown and the surprising outcomes! Love, love, love!

[@Chrissieannie]

You are so welcome!😊😊😊

[@debrareslauenwhite2130]

Love the white one more in this case. But both tiles are fantastic. I really enjoy the fact that even you don't know what the outcome will be.

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks so much 😊😊😊

[@dasielin]

I love the way the words stand out better on the white one. The black is pretty too, but would look better on maybe a light green or goldish card. Very interesting and reminds me a little bit of steampunk.

[@Chrissieannie]

🙂🙂🙂

[@bethgray4151]

I like the white one better, too, but they both are beautiful!

They are both so nice. They look like stamped metal. The white one is my favourite too. Everything shows up so well on it.

[@brendalawrence6732]

I am loving both of them but much to my surprise, it is the white base I love the most. I feel like you can sene more of the details in the white one, plus I love being able to see all the colors. Th

[@Chrissieannie]

Thank you 😊😊😊

[@DJMHallett]

Love both the little tiles, I used to do mixed media canvases, cards etc but haven’t for ages. CAS became my preference a few years ago. But, your last few videos have made me want to do it again as it works wonderfully for CAS cards as you have shown. I’ve ordered 2 sets of the gilding gum (couldn’t stretch to all 3). I’m looking forward to receiving them and having a play 😊

[@Chrissieannie]

Have lots of fun 😊😊😊

[@kcinca5410]

These are great little tiles. I'm pleased that the white comes out as nice (or nicer) than the black. Sometimes shimmery things show so much better and truer on black. Do you ever use black cardstock as your base card? I like to suggest a little arrow on the back of that text stamp so you always know which way is up. Until the next experiment...

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks 😊😊😊

[@onedaysoon58]

Hi I like the white one best as you can see more detail on it. Both are lovely thou x

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks so much 😊

[@46nosetackle]

Love it, Christine. I really can't choose which one I like better. They both appeal to me. I'm so tempted to order the product but I must show some restraint, shouldn't I?

[@Chrissieannie]

I'm sure you have plenty that you can work on without more expense!😊😊😊

[@deebanks504]

Love them both, and I can't decide which I prefer, like you say it depends on what you are using it for. Lots of inspiration here. I need some new supplies, I think 🤔 TFS

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@chrisarlington1792]

I do like both tiles, but , I like using black mostly. I love using my twinkling h2o and painting an embossed image. The embossing prevents the paint from bleeding over .

[@Chrissieannie]

😊 thanks

[@vickidavis1501]

Both are impressive. Thought I liked the black base until you added the script to the white. Think the white is my favourite.

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks so much ❤️💛🤍

[@traceyallen8286]

such differing results Christine. I prefer the 'happier' result on the white base, but as you say, depending on the type of card you envisage making, the 'dark and moody' black base could be just the thing. Thanks once more for sharing your playtime experiments.

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks, it’s fun…and fun to share! 🤍❤️💛

[@lindadunstall1790]

You keep coming up with more & more FUN ways to play Christine 🥰🦘🦘I like the white one the most. Now would you do things with 🦋🦋on different colours like a lavender one & a dark blue one... I am imagining a lot more pairs of things.... Whoopeee!🍎🌹🙏

[@Chrissieannie]

Great idea!!

[@heathersherlock]

Yes I did watch the video. The comment on fb about not wanting to choose was meant to be a joke. Obviously not a very good one. But I do like them both all the same. 😄

[@Chrissieannie]

🤣🤣🤣 it’s interesting to see the difference that the base layer makes isn’t it! 🤍💛❤️

[@barbarajgallagher]

I love the idea of a tile and mixed media. I have to try that. I really love the white base on this one. My old eyes like the ease of seeing the french text and the swirly bit which is easier with the contrast.

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks so much 😊😊😊

[@barbaralewis8920]

Like both equally.

[@Chrissieannie]

😊😊😊

[@mechellewilliams2576]

Both are lovely but, I think I prefer the white one. I’m looking forward to seeing both the finished cards 🥰

[@Chrissieannie]

I have just added them to Instagram! 😊😊😊

[@jenniferdrake1210]

Well I have to agree with everyone, I prefer on the white, just because you can see the design better. Jenny 🇨🇦😊

[@lynnebruton3199]

Christine can you buy the gilding gum separately.? Lovely tiles .

[@Chrissieannie]

You most certainly can...20% discount with the code CHRISKZbin😊😊😊

[@jacal6648]

The white one wins for me too. Ive not tried anything like this before.

[@Chrissieannie]

It's fun! 😊😊😊

[@karenjackson6090]

Both of these tiles are gorgeous but I think, just watching on video, that I too prefer the white base. I really liked the two colours you brushed onto the tiles. I will go and look at how you have finished the cards. A very helpful video, as always. Thank you. Oh, and if you intend to do more heat embossing of small pieces Christine, if you hold your card piece with a wooden clothes peg, it saves your fingers from the heat. I learned the hard way :(

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks so much, I often use tweezers to hold bits and pieces when embossing, I thought I did in this video too! 😁😁😁

[@karenaustin5307]

Based on the whole finished composition the white one does seem to show all the elements and colors best (and benefits from the added reflectivity of the backdrop gold lattice piece), especially the stamped text. Pretty sure the heart wreath die is the Memory Box Blooming Heart Wreath. Loved watching the evolution of both pieces!

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks so much 😊😊😊

[@serenbeck]

Love them both but think the white base has the edge for me

[@Chrissieannie]

😊😊😊

[@suemsearch]

I agree that the white one is preferable at the moment but it will depend how you finish the cards. I love every element you have chosen for these panels however the cards turn out❤❤❤

[@Chrissieannie]

Thank you 😊😊😊

[@barbbassano1417]

I love the white one. I didn’t know you could emboss using a die, I still don’t understand why that didn’t cut the card stock because the cutting side was on the card stock, I just do t get it ?

[@Chrissieannie]

It's scary the first-time you do it, but the rubber mat absorbs the pressure somewhat so that the die merely makes an impression on the card rather than cutting all the way through. You can't emboss with dies without a rubber mat.😊

[@barbbassano1417]

I will certainly have to try it. I will see if I have that rubber mat in my stash. I hope so because that would really open up slot of options for me

[@Chrissieannie]

Rubber mats are sometimes supplied with die cutting machines, but can be purchased separately.

My pleasure 😊😊😊

[@jules3696]

I love these mixed media type tiles. Both are lovely, but prefer the white I think. TFS.

[@Sioban1945]

Both of course for differing reasons. Perhaps it’s male black and female white, it all hinges on what you are doing with each.

[@Chrissieannie]

Exactly! 😊😊😊

[@rebeccabrown3898]

I like both very much but I would use the white for a female and the black for a male.

When you previously speculated on the possibility of Memory Box manufacturing dies for Simon Says Stamp, I did a little investigating and it appears that Memory Box makes dies for SSS, Poppy Stamps, Birch Press Designs, and possibly, Cottage Cuts. If you search the SSS site, these other dies come up as well. There weren’t ant Cottage Cuts dies but I’m almost possible there were a few when I checked the first time. You must have missed my comment letting you know. 😊 The tiles are lovely. I think the colors used complement the white base more.

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks so much, I think I must have missed your comment, I try hard not to miss any. I think I agree that the colours I chose do suit the white base😁

[@KSKerrigan]

I agree with everyone the both of them are absolutely beautiful. I prefer the white one because it is easier to see all of the different elements, the swirl, the writing, etc. I don’t have Instagram so I can’t see the finished cards, but I am sure they are beautiful. Thank you for all your inspiration.

Thank you, I also put them into the Clean and Simple Card making group on Facebook! 😁😁😁
