Do you plan on making your own DIY Magical Powders or Color Burst Powders? I'd love to know! They're not only fun to make but you can make so many color combinations! I had the best time making these gorgeous card panels. Be sure to check the video description for links to a page on my new website where you'll find links to all things I'm using in this video. 😀 I hope you enjoyed--let me know what you think!

Kathya...My guess is that if the person that complained about your idea would have come up with it themselves, THEY would have posted it so fast it made your head spin. They were probably just jealous that they were unable to come up with the idea. I think this is absolutely BRILLIANT!! On my way to get some dyes right now! You keep on my friend...you will have more people that appreciate you than people who complain!! God Bless! Oh...almost forgot...when you mix ANY colors that are on opposite sides of the color wheel, you will get brown. People that say "mud" are simply not lovers of brown...I am, so I will always experiment. Thank you again, this video actually made my day...this is amazing. I look forward to more of your ideas!

I think it’s unfortunate that someone had a problem with creating a DIY. Not everyone has the funds or access to the original products. In any event, I know that I always end up with product that doesn’t get used. If any of those products can be repurposed, hooray for us. Thank you Kathya, keep up the great work.

I'm interrupting my watching of this video to say I THANK you for your innovation. So very many craft-related items are ridiculously expensive and there are alternatives that work equally (if not better) than the more expensive ones. In this time of raging inflation, when a pound of steak costs as much as many workers make in an hour, I'm grateful for these tips. I have wanted to experiment with Rit dyes in this same way, just never got around to it. You encourage me. Now, back to the video, but I'll leave this comment open til the end. And by the way: inflation is not caused by any politician. After the shortages of the COVID era, greedy wholesaleers and retailers, and the oil and gas companies have just continued to raise prices. If you don't believe me, look at their quarterly reports. Record profits. The examples were beautiful.

Love mica powders! Good for you, Kathya, that you came up with a ‘dupe’…aren’t we supposed to use our supplies as creatively as possible!?! 💗

Ohhh! Those beautiful colours that mix and meld. Thank you for sharing your projects. 😊

I absolutely love it and I’m mixing them in my “mad scientist lab” right now!!

Wow those are great! Thanks Kathya!

I have all the colors of the colorbursts i have still been looking for a DIY alternative because they are rather expensive when I need to restock. I have been looking and this is the only tutorial I have found! THANK YOU so much love this idea

Kathya, I am a new subscriber, drawn by this video title. I thank you deeply for sharing your creative endeavors. I think the cost of most craft supplies (stamps, dies, inks, items such as the color drops, color bursts, brushos, and so forth) are way over priced for what they are. Sure, I appreciate design talents of Tim Holtz and other such designers, but the purchase prices are 20 times the cost to manufacture. It's obscene how costly simple supplies are - paper, cardstock for example. So any time I can find a way to use a low cost item to achieve the same effect - I say go for it. I remember a few years ago when an adhesive type product came out (actually I think several companies made versions) which allowed you to use heat-reactive foil with it. I tried using matte gel medium and it worked beautifully at a fraction of the cost. I'm babbling now. So I say ignore those snooty craft product folks and keep playing scientist. Many thanks. Diane

Just found your channel and have subscribed, i'm loving your craft hacks and have just ordered some silicone face mask brushes from one of your other videos. I got quite excited by this one with the tie dye kit as I was sure I had picked up one somewhere a while back (probably a car boot sale) but I can't find it. What I did find when looking for it was a box of metallic fabric sprays so might have a go at making my own coloured sprays with that. In the meantime I will look out for a tie dye kit as I do love my powders. Thank you, keep up with the hacks, they are brilliant . Love from Scotland xx

How fun!

Glad t have found this video, have been looking around for a couple weeks, and yes, if I can make my own for less, I'm gonna do it, great job!!💜💜💜

Great job Kathya! That is so silly and ridiculous that someone would give you a bad time for showing how to make your own powders. Shame on them. All the big time crafters out there share cheaper ways to do this craft. Keep up the good work and thank you so much for sharing. GOD bless you my dear👍❤️

I just found you! How have I not known you were there?! Love your videos!! Thanks for giving us affordable ways to create.

Thank you for sharing this dupe. I have left over tie dye, this is a great use for it.

So happy to see your video! I value much those who save us money on our crafty journey and love following you for that reason! I am grateful to you for what you have shown us and taught us. As usual your cards are so gorgeous!!! Keep shining, and don't let anyone dull your sparkle!!!

Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I love DIY products. I agree with you, I'd rather spend money on things I can't recreate. Thank you for the gum arabic tip. I have a ton of mica powders that my sister gave me but I wasn't sure how to make it adhere to paper, aside from hair spray.

Love the backgrounds you created with this fabulous technique. Thank you Kathya for sharing another great discovery! 💚

Gorgeous cards 🥰 I love your backgrounds, the shimmer and shine and fabulous colors ❤️ thanks for sharing your creativity Hugs xx

Just placed my order for the Mica powders through your link. To my surprise the 35 count Arteza was 40% off. Winning!

Brilliant!! Such a great idea. I know you have the mica powders, but shimmery eye make up can be a substitute for commercial mica powder. Thanks for sharing.

Love your ingenuity! New sub here, thank you!

Love these diy powders, i have not, and will not buy the original (too expensive for their use) , but really love your diy, will try that if i buy those mica powders (thinking about that for ages...😂 ). Love your channel!! But never get a recommendation from youtube. Eventhough i have you subscribed as "wanting to see all content", so i missed all your fab videos.

thank you!

Any1 who got upset that u hacked this is crazy. The colorburst & colorpops r outrageous...u could also mix this pigment with ur own texture paste & get a type of shimmery gilding or texture paste...the possibilities r endless lol

This is so brilliant! I have plenty of all the supplies you mentioned, so I'm definitely going to need to make my own. Thanks for this awesome video.

I wish I could've discovered you earlier

I have a bunch of radiant pearl. It isn't water reactive but is mica. Would it work in place of mica powder?

Hello Kathya, are the Tond-Oh's still available for purchase?
