Twinkling H2O's-use or lose?

[mg]

I have many of these and don't use them. Can anyone excite me about them or are they a thing of the past. Feel bad about the money invested.

I love my Twinklin' H2Os!!!

Here's a card I made with them....I painted them directly onto the flower stamp then stamped it onto the white CS. I love the effect!

You just need some inspiration, that's all :mrgreen:

I have seen so many cool ideas using them that I am dying to buy some so that I can play,but I am waiting for my wallet to open up a bit. Let me know if you decide to "lose" them, I'll be glad to take them off your hands!

[jennelf]

Use them!! There's nothing like them. Plus, one thing I've noticed in this industry is that everything comes back around! You lose them, and that's the most sure-fire way to have them be the next big thing, LOL!

I use them to fill in when I stamp a pair of glasses or water...

[NANCYRUTH]

oh you have them so why dont you use them? Watercoloring is fun and they have such a nice shimmer, come on, give 'em another try, why dontchya!

[mg]

I need that encouragement to be renewed!

[merrymoo2]

I own them ALL!!! and I have to say that they are one of the (rare) things that I use almost everyday!! I love the way they look, even if it's just to add a bit of sheen and shimmer over something that I've already colored

I broke mine out and used them for the first time in forever when I was making valentines with the kids. I couldn't even remember what they were called!!! I forgot how pretty they are and how fun they are!

I was not enjoying mine either for awhile....I was using the aqua pen with them. I changed over to using just a paintbrush and water and I started to like them again. No idea why....I just liked the finished product better. Also, I open all the jars I am going to use and spray them with water and let them sit for a bit before I use them. That makes them a bit softer and easier to use.

I love them. The colours are gorgeous and so easy to use.

I bought a crap load of these from a store going out of business for .75 each but I have yet to use them. Guess I better get to it.

[scrappinspadiva]

Where do you get them? I don't think I've seen them before. But just today a friend was telling me how much she loves hers. She got them at some stamping expo...

Well, my friend Ila uses them when she colors with Prismas & Gamsol ~~ take a look at her gallery, I'm sure it will inspire you to use them!!!!

I love mine! I dont stamp as often as I would like but when I go to color an image they are usually what I like to grab first unless I am doing a swap where I have to use SU only!

Her cards are nothing short of fantastic... I think I better get some of these H2Os

[Lisa62]

I also have them but rarely use them now that I'm back to working again.
They are very pretty, when used, that is.

I have a full week off now that my kids are on their vacation . So I'm thinking about doing a little scrappin this week if I'm not to occupied with the kids.

[Lisa62]

Michele wow your frien does have an awesome gallery. she definettly puts a lot of work into her cards and it shows. with all the stitching.and coloring she does. the colors are so vibrant in all her cards.

Thanks for posting this link. I think I'll break out my h20's tomoorw and play with them.

mICHELLE THANKS AGAIN FOR THE HIGH HOPES WEBSITE. I forgot you can print these right from the site.

[ksaeger]

Great thread! Thanks Michelle for the link your your frined's gallery - I think I've been inspired to drag my H20s out!! We are always buying the "next best thing" and forget about the great stuff we already have

I LOVE them - they are so underrated! You can add water put them in a fine mist bottle and voila you have shimmer paper like with glimmer mist but even more shimmery! You can watercolor - put them directly on your stamps - SO much! I have pictures and tutorials of all this on my blog here:
