'I mess around for hours, you know' You are such a delight!

[@gretchenwilson1482]

The red would make a beautiful poinsettia! Love the technique!💜🤗

[@Chrissieannie]

Thank you♥️♥️♥️

[@blancaalves8250]

I’ve just found you this very day while fumbling around on CAS. You are mesmerizing and so talented. I Will be watching you as much as possible now! Thank you for sharing. By the way, I was a teacher for 47 years and have finally retired also. Now I’m set to learn from you!

[@reneeallen1118]

This technique is definitely a ‘WOW!’ I’m so glad your channel popped up in my feed. Thanks 🙏🏾

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks I hope you will subscribe if you like what you saw!

[@robinrar]

Love watching and listening to you. I love that so many of us are retired teachers! It never leaves us I guess❤️. This looks like such a fun background to make❤️❤️❤️

[@nancyrolfe3033]

I just found her channel recently and love it but had no idea that there were several retired teachers in her group!! I’m also retired and taught math… It made me feel good to know this!

[@karenlusby6230]

Watching other artists like you is so rewarding! I learn simple and complex techniques - from using a palette knife to evenly spread glue to creating textured paper. Beautiful results! Thank you for sharing! - and I love your accent too 😊

[@Chrissieannie]

Thank you so much ♥️♥️♥️😊

[@jennyreynolds30]

Thankyou. I don't know what to buy a a novice. I have some very cheap inks and feel like giving up as they're not giving a good finish

[@LadyJP6969]

They’re Fabulous!!! Thanks for sharing.

[@Chrissieannie]

Glad you like them!❤️❤️❤️

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Thank you so much Christine, I really really enjoyed watching you playing with those prints and dies too. I really really love ❤️ how those tissue paper pieces came out. Stunning and gorgeous too. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags

[@Chrissieannie]

Many thanks ❤️❤️❤️

[@lanierharrison505]

Love this. Love all of your videos. So natural and informative. Thank you so much.

[@sandypritchard311]

Lovely to see you back and love this technique, well done and keep well xx

[@delskinner3427]

I love this technique! I do believe that you created a new one! Adding the gold gilding was a lovely touch!

[@susanhamilton8370]

I'm absolutely hooked on this method now! I don't have reinkers but do have acrylic paints which I dotted around in various shades and the paint didn't crack as I was worried they would (I gave them a good spritz before & after). They've come out bright & vibrant and took the gilding wax like a dream. They ran through the cutting machine beautifully so now I have a gorgeous set of embellishments ready for Christmas cards. Thank you so very much Christine, I'm so grateful that everything you show us is doable and elegant :)

[@Chrissieannie]

It's great to read such a positive comment as this. That you are using what you have and adapting the technique you saw iswonderful. You must be feeling very satisfied! Great stuff! ❤️❤️❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@Chrisb4436]

Thank you for showing off this technique, especially adding the gilding wax. I love watching your process!

[@jillianselwood]

So glad you’re feeling better. Fabulous technique, can’t wait to try it. 💜💜

[@lydian8]

This is gorgeous! Thank you for sharing the technique.

[@Chrissieannie]

It’s my pleasure!

[@suegreenwell3823]

Fabulous technique Christine, which I’ve never come across before, so definitely a win win! I hope you are fully recovered from COVID now and fighting fit. I wait in anticipation for your videos as they are just brilliant and you make us feel like we are there with you xx

[@brendaprescott2043]

Love this technique. I’ve done something similar using my clear versamark ink swiped over the crinkled surface and then sprinkled gold embossing powder and heat embossed.it gives a similar effect. Your cards are great !

[@cherylblue8883]

Love this idea…as I watched you lay down the second paper….I thought it would look great to have added tissue to the mop up sheet….Yay…gonna have to try this

[@jackiefarr5703]

Love the red mix. Two pieces, one rough and one smooth with the same colours is a great idea for some flowers. I use a lot of flowers in my cards and will certainly give this technique a try. Glad you are feeling a little better. Crafting is therapeutic. 🌷🦋

[@mitzi66]

I love that method, we did it in a textile class years ago, 2001 I think, we used Brusho, and all these years later my Brusho is still good! You can make it look like leather too. Your cards are beautiful, and a speedy recovery to you xxx

[@yvonnewhittington8586]

Great technique I will be giving this a try! Thanks so much for sharing the how to

[@Chrissieannie]

That’s great, thanks so much!

[@Dotalina33]

I have to add with the others how delightful it was to see you bring back a technique we used a long time ago with the added products if die cutting. The red is marvelous for Christmas. Tim holtz has a new fall set of 3 stains that has in it a red mica stain that is fabulous! (2 sets all with mica) Thank you for having fun with the flowers and sharing it with us all.

[@Chrissieannie]

Thank you, I’ll have to take a look at those new products! ❤️❤️❤️

[@Dotalina33]

@@Chrissieannie there are two sets of 3 out for the fall season and when they’re gone they won’t be making any more of them. The colors are vivid and absolutely gorgeous. The names are holloweenish but nevertheless they are beautiful. Get them! Lol

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Thank you so much Christine, I really really enjoyed watching you creating those backgrounds and then die cutting some flower’s too. It’s so fascinating to see how he veins show up so well once you’ve put gilding wax on the top. I can’t wait to see what the card looks like when you’ve done it. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags

Very interesting way to make a background. Seems like there are sooooo many ways.

[@Chrissieannie]

I think so too!

[@Sandra-cs5wq]

I am going to try this later. Thank you for sharing.

[@Funnellyenough]

You give me some great ideas and I love watching you at work 😊. I think the tissue and ink with the gilding would also make a beautiful piece of art to hang on the wall. If I was to do that, would you recommend using a top coat to seal it in and if so, what would you suggest? Thank you

[@Chrissieannie]

Thank you, I agree it might look terrific on a wall, I might be inclined to mount it in a shadow box frame so that it would be behind glass and then wouldn't need sealing. Just a thought!

[@debbiel890]

Hi Christine I love watching you and get so much inspiration from you. Could you tell me what die you used on the card with red flowers on the one with lines going in different directions

You could use watercolor paper for your cardstock but it would be a bit of a waste as it is expensive. You couldn't use watercolor paper instead of tissue paper for this technique.
