Thanks!

You can read more about them at this website:

They are awesome!

Be sure to shop around on the net ... I think someone has them on sale.

A wonderful SCS person gave me the following site for purchasing my H20's - after a lot of research, they are the cheapest one I found. They have 72 of the 84 colors and will be getting the last 12.

Have fun - Joni

I purchased the 24 color mini set with the black cherry, irridescent green, orange peel, etc. (not sure of the item # off hand). It has the basic colors in it and I'm happy I selected this set.

I got them off of the Stampnmadness site referred to and they are the cheapest on the web. I ordered on a Saturday and received them on Thursday and that was with the 4th of July holdiay in there! Very nice person to work with

I highly recommend that site!

Janice - I'm so glad you posted this question. I've been wondering what the heck they were, too! I just checked them out and WOW are they ever bright! *sigh* someday I'll try them, but I'm buying NEW STAMPS first!!!

Can someone tell me if these need to be "set" or sealed so they won't smeer? I've never used the Pearl Ex either, but it seems to me that the samples I've seen all schmeered pretty easily. Any tips? TIA!

veggiegirl...you do not need to seal these...they do not rub off or anything! They are great!

Default Twinklin H20 Tutorials and Tips

Twinklin H20s work great with SU's new AquaBrush. My favorite technique is to take dark cardstock, emboss a line drawing image, then bleach out areas of it and paint back in with Twinklin H20. I also like to use them on a special vellum called Sheer Heaven.

Here are some great websites with tips and tutorials on how to use them:

Java Judi,

Thanks for the great list of websites. I've been wondering about the twinkling h2o's also. I love to watercolor with my regular SU pads, now I'll have to get the twinklings.
