Glossy Card Stock

[Kay-Kay]

I ordered some at the last SU party I went to....forgot how they said to stamp on it! Is it best used with the watercolor technique or embossing, or do I just stamp away and use it like normal paper? What looks best? Kay-Kay

I have not tried it for watercoloring, but love to use my spectrum pad or regular pad and brayer on it.

You can use a versamark and do a resist (stamp image in VM, then sponge or brayer over it and the VMed image will resist the ink)

Glossy is great for special techniques-like polished stone, drunken chalks, etc. (you can go to the resources section and get more help for those techniques)

You can also use it to emboss on wioth a regular pad. Since it has a sleek surface, the ink stays wet, so any dye pad can be used to emboss with .

I know there are a lot of other ideas wih it, but that is what popped in my head right away-HTH

Britta, I didn't know you could emboss on Glossy with the Classic inks!!! Thanks SO much for that tip - I'll try it today!

I just tried the waxed paper resist technique yesterday with my new glossy cs. Turned out really cute and it was so easy! If you don't have a brayer, you can sponge the ink on (while you're waiting for your newly ordered brayer to arrive!!). Have also tried rubber cement resist - fun, too!

If that doesn't work it is in the top row on the second page of my gallery
