How does it look on colored cardstock paper? Will it show up on lavender or teal?

The first time I bought these, it was to use on rough dark brown cover stock. I experimented a little bit because one layer right out of the packaging wasn't quite bright enough. It'll work very well if you shake (mix) it very vigorously before hand to distribute the paint in the solvent and get the paint flowing and check the opacity on a scrap piece beforehand. At that point, one layer should have like 75-80% opacity, which is okay. If you want it to be 100%, let the first layer dry completely before going over it again delicately. If you push down too hard on the second pass it'll dig into the first layer and the solvent will redissolve it a little bit and gunk it up. If you want the absolute best results, and ANY results with several colors, especially dark colors over light colors, you'll need to fix each layer between coats with some sort of clear-coat. I use Rustoleum Crystal Clear Enamel... I've also used Painter's Touch Satin Clear when I didn't want too much gloss. Use a medium clear-coat for each overlap and it'll both darken the background and make the colors pop more. Good luck.

Hi Ryan, thanks for your great question. We certainly understand what you mean when you say you have been misled before, as often items sold on the Internet are not as they seem, and I have myself purchased products only to be sent something completely different! We assure you that with Chalk This Way, 'what you see is what you get' :) The colors shown in our image are what you receive. One point to note, interpretation can vary depending on the definition used. Teal by definition is a blueish- green color and can vary from a lighter blue to more commonly a greener hue. The product we sell is not called teal however is an earthy green that does have blue in it to create the saturation, therefore think this would satisfy what you are looking for when you state teal. We hope this helps and thank you for your interest in our products. UPDATE: 3/20/14 To all of our valued customers. Please note we have upgraded the design of our chalk markers to optimize the ink flow mechanism, and as part of this change have also altered the colors. We no longer have a teal in the pack. We do have a light blue as shown, and the colors shown in our listing are accurate, however wanted to ensure our customers are fully aware of the colors within the pack. Please do refer to our images for an up to date, accurate reflection of the colors. Thanks Regards, Paul Davidson Chalk This Way

I tried a test using a photo with some serious black in the background. On plain paper it turned out as I expected, a bit gray. When I need really pure color I use photo quality matte coated inkjet paper. The black really snapped! This is the way I've always done it whether with an Epson or H/P. You just can't get past the porousness of plain paper - and I've tried many, many types and brands.Ted Spencer

The color is the same on both sides. The glimmer is part of the paper, not a layer of glitter. We used it for Homecoming programs and printed on both sides.

It is all over color, both front and back. Great paper, used it for my wedding programs. Held up nicely

this paper is thin vinyl coated paper and is also smooth. You would probably have texture showing through the paper. I returned it because it was not the thick vinyl that I needed to cover my texture.

Textured card stock makes my cards look like I purchased them and not like I printed them from home. I can't tell you how many times people told me thanks for the lovely card. There have been absolutely no problems with the paper working in my printer and I don't think they cost any more than regular card stock. Go fancy and have fun!

Hey there. I haven't done cardstock but I do frequently print on heavy watercolor paper without any issues. I also know that the printer allows you to select cardstock as the paper type.

It will do fine with sharpies. I use mixed medium, primarily watercolors, and the paper holds up well with water. The book has more pages than other journals I've had. The cover is very sturdy. I'm pleased with this item.

Maybe, the paper might wrinkle someMy daughter water colors. She uses water color paper when she serious, she does play with card stock a lot. It does wrinkle some but not like copy paper.

I like the weight and texture of this Greeting Card paper. It's just right. I also like it that it has a score line so you get a clean sharp fold. The following is a paragraph on the box which is a good description of the paper. "Heavyweight textured premium cardstock with matte coating on both sides creates a professional look".Hope I've helped.

Not sure -- by comparison, of course in my opinion, this paper is more like Stampin-Up whisper white. It isn't as heavy as PapertreyInk or Ginia K's 110 lb cardstock. This paper is about the same weight as a good index card :-(

I'm not sure about how this shows up on fabric, I only use them on paper and I don't think fabric was the intended use. I can't imagine the yellow showing up on dark fabric if the orange didn't. Good luck

I've really only used it with watercolor paper. You should check videos from jennifermcgureink.com That is where you will find some good answers.

Cardstock. It is not matte. Get it if u want it to reflect light and images.

Its not as thick as a regular cardstock but, for my opinion, stiff enough to use as the base of a card. Its much stiffer than copy or drawing paper. Hope this will help.
