Watercolour Palettes

[Crafty Beast]

Hi

I was at the Papercrafts Extravaganza and a lady was demonstrating some Artquest Jewelz paints for painting onto rubber stamped designs.

Just wondered if anyone has used these or has opinions/alternatives? The results looked amazing and I just wanted to check they were worth the cash before splurging.

Thanks

They look like they would give the same effect as H20's but I thought they were expensive.

If you have a works shop near you it might be worth a look as not long ago they had something very similar for just £2 or £3. It was in the big stores deals to, might be worth searching for the original thread.

Here it is.

I have one of the sets and don't it them as much as my twinkling h2o's, they give you the same effect and the h2o's are a lot cheaper.

[Crafty Beast]

Thats a great help thankyou :-)

Sorry to be completely ignorant but what are H20s??

[Paula Jim]

Twinkling H2O's are very similar to the palletes that you were looking at but come in little pots, usually 6 in a set.

[Crafty Beast]

Ahh I see, thankyou!

Excellent I will be off to the works at lunch time if I can escape to see if they have any, thanks for your help!

i have some and they are fab. for best effects use dark cardstock.

[Crafty Beast]

Which ones do you have Donna?

Just got back from the Works, they had the paints in woohoo! Hopefully I will now have saved a tidy sum so thanks everyone!

I wonder if they will paint onto wooden letters?

[angeljakki]

i have the ones from the works and they have a better pigment and shimmer than the h20s. the works ones are more intense. I find the h20s more subtle

[SarahPitts]

We sadly don't have a Works in Bradford so I'm hoping I can find someone to get me some, think I shall call my Mum!!

[Crafty Beast]

If your mum can't get them Sarah pm me and I will pop into to town and see if they've any more as I'm in the office all this week I can send some on for you if you like?

[SarahPitts]

Jenny that would be brilliant if you could.

I'll pm you.
