what is watercolor paperaccording to my DH it is either thicker..or it has a film on it. Either way is so the water or paid doesn't destroy your image. Normal paper will curl when it gets wet then dries..this won't.


what is a batikI have no idea...LOL

what is freezer paper (maybe what we call waxed paper?)It is cloer to white Butcher's paper than wax paper. It has a waxy film on one side (to prevent sticking) and not on the other.
I hope I got them right...LOL if not someone will be along in a bit to correct me ;)

Batik uses mulberry paper as in this card

I use watercolor paper all the time. You can buy it in a pad almost anywhere; Walmart or anywhere that has art supplies. You shouldn't have any trouble finding it.

I use it with my "Stamp Zia spray inks" Stamp Zia

Yes, it's thicker than cardstock, and more porus so that it absorbs moisture rather than repelling it.

It's so much fun! she sells acrylic shapes (like dragonflies and butterflies) that you can use to masque the next color you use and end up with a "shadow" effect. Very cool.

Batik is a fabric dieing technique where they put wax in a design, dye the fabrid the lift the wax and it leaves a patern.

In cardmaking you can do it with mulberry paper or even some other types of papers, you can use real wax or even just use embossing powder as a resist for the ink for a faux batik look. I think sometimes people actually iron the powder back off using an absorbant paper like newsprint and an iron (I did that once at a stamp store class) or just let the clear embossing powder reists the ink to get the look of it.
