Using Twinkling H20's

Twinkling H20's and Cosmic Shimmer Powders have Mica in them which gives a lovely effect once the water has evaporated from them.
They are very easy to use and this is one of the ways you can put them to work.
Arteza now also have an amazing range of mica powders in lots of different colours

That storage is incredible!

[@roshodgkins5417]

This is the biggest WOW factor I’ve seen, love the way you have stored the H20’s

[@ThePaperCastle]

[@facsmom]

Oh Christine you did it again, it is soooo beautiful... I have a CD holder and blank CD's , now all I need is the H20 , I have never heard of it! Love how you did the back ground , I do this technique but I use glimmer mist... you can get it at Tattered Angels or make your own! thats what I did and it is quite beautiful. ...once again I love the mirror card!! lol Just love these cards... you are the best!!!!!

[@karenperkins6744]

Just found this tutorial Christina, and all I can say is WOW! I have h20's but never quite knew what to do with them .... now I do! These cards are stunning, and the storage idea .... brilliant! Thanks so much for this wonderful video and for all the others that you do too! I for one, so much appreciate all the effort you put into these videos! xx

[@clairebyrne5586]

I totally agree Karen, this is the best tutorial I have ever seen and I have my H2Os for over 15 years!!!! I can't wait to get them out and play with them again 😊😊😊

[@bjsmoker]

Very beautiful! I've never used these Twinkling H20's but watching this really makes me want to for sure!

[@rosemcclintock7992]

Christe I'am glad you show that use the inks very nice

[@virginiaburns5278]

Really pretty! Loved both the final cards you made, thank you!!

[@drwoo6090]

Love the cards, they are beautiful. I have the H2Os, the mica powders and embossing powders. I've rarely used the 1st two, as I wasn't sure how. You have given me inspiration to try now. I've subscribed with you, so I can see more of your videos. You have a nice voice, neither too loud, or too soft, and You speak clearly, which is helpful to me as I am hearing impaired. But as your demonstrations are really clear, I can actually watch and learn without having to hear you. Thanks.

Clever clever storage.!! Love it.

[@ChristinaGriffiths]

The thing to do with crafting is play and experiment and see what you like. There is no right or wrong way to do anything ... just enjoy your self ... so try it and see if you like what you have created and if you don't then move on and try something else ... it's only paper after all xx

[@mcescher1957]

...and I thought that I saw everything there was to see on your wonderful website!! How did I miss the storage section?? Guess I know what I will be doing for the next few hours...lol Thanks again Christina!!

[@ChristinaGriffiths]

Yes it is and you can store ribbon reels and Sparkly glues in the same way .... and I am sure lots more items.

[@cindygronbach3387]

How do you do the ones shown in the first 30 seconds or so of the video? Especially the blue fading down to purple with the flower stamp. It looks really smooth, and I'm not figuring out how to get that smoothness in my cards.

[@laneauxpaula]

that is a very smart idea for the storage....

[@jeffnval1]

These are such beautiful card! I have all 212 H2O colors and have struggled w/ how to store them. Any suggestions on how to store THAT many? I would NEED a TON of these CD holders so it does not seem like the right solution for me but I may have to keep it in mind w/ other products.

[@TamiDawnA]

Lovely cards ... thanks for the great tips. ;o)

[@ChristinaGriffiths]

@mcescher1957 This is a great idea for storage but you can also use it for glues, spritzer bottles and ribbons .... and anything else you can think of. Have a look at Crafters storage on the website for more ideas on using stuff you might otherwise throw away.

[@ScrapMary]

Magnifica!!!! :)

[@mcescher1957]

Beautiful!! I saw Sheena Douglass use this storage technique and I agree it works brilliantly!! It also doesn't matter what size pots of H2O's you have - I didn't buy the sets, I got the individual 10g pots. I can get 5 pots per layer, and without the lids, 4 layers!! Now if I could just find a good place to buy mirri-card here in the US....sigh....any suggestions anybody??

[@bthithuha]

cool idea to store the paint. Thank you

[@Lfodor1]

Do you have to use glossy paper? Will watercolor paper work?

[@sandrahelenes]

What kind of paper do you use?

[@dmrcm]

Very nice cards...Where do you buy those paints from?

Didn't see her use the embossing buddy before stamping the design with the Versa. Last time I did that the embossing powder didn't stay on the card and I had to start over.

[@ChristinaGriffiths]

I don't use an embossing buddy that's why you didn't see it. I use cheap talcum powder ... cheaper and smells lovely to do exactly the same job. Plus it only removes fingerprints or sticky marks it does nothing to hold the embossing powder on your cards, that is what the Versamark does Cxx

[@Pherine1]

Excellent, thank you x
