I'm just sayin....
There's been a lot of talk over at Splitcoast Stampers lately about the best paper for Copics. That always seems to be a big debate in many of the papercrafts on-line communitie. There are so many favorite papers suggested by so many crafters... all with good reasons why they like the paper they're using.
Well I have to weigh in with my 2 cents worth. I say Cryogen White! And I will be delighted to tell you my reasons for loving this paper!
1) Hand stamped images are clear and crisp.
2) My digi images don't smear.
3) My Copics blend beautifully with no smearing.
4) Cryogen white loves embossing folders! I get such a deep nice embossed effect with my embossing folders.
Here's an example that includes all of these:
Look at those fab polka dots embossed so beautifully...doesn't this bright orange Spellbinders diecut doily just pop?! Look at the Isabella's Sketchbook cupcake digi image colored with Copics, no smearing here! This darling sentiment is by Hero arts and is stamped with tuxedo black ink by Tsukineko. Cryogen white....Whoo-hoo!! Really makes my projects have that crisp, pulled together look.
Please visit PaperTemptress to see this and so many other awesome papers! You'll be glad you did. ;D
I totally agree with you!! I think I have tried everyone and nothing compares to Cryogen for blending! Your card is so pretty and I love the easy simplicity that makes it so elegant! Hugz,

Hi Diana - I love the cryogen too - I have my first lot to hand :-). I also have just received my first Copics, so I will have to experiment. What weight cryogen do you use?
