Last week we posted a poll in our online store asking Couture Cardstock customers which product they were in greater need of, a water coloring paper or a blending paper for alcohol based markers.

This week we are delivering on your request for a paper specially suited to the needs of mixed media artists working with alcohol based markers like Copics.  In close cooperation with Sally Lynn MacDonald, a Copic Design Team Member and Regional Certification Instructor we are proud to release the first two products in our Pure Silk Collection: Detail Blending Paper and One Sheet Wonder.

Detail Blending Paper has been endorsed by Sally Lynn MacDonald, as the preferred medium weight, 80 lb, white cardstock for alcohol ink shading and coloring. Specifically suited for enhancing stamped focal points and layering Detail Blending Paper is the perfect base for your beautifully hand-colored creations. Detail Blending Paper is part of the Pure Silk Collection and can be purchased by the sheet or in a package of 25 sheets.

One Sheet Wonder has been endorsed by Sally Lynn MacDonald, as the preferred heavy weight, 120 lb, white cardstock for alcohol ink shading and coloring. Specifically suited for creating one layer cards, One Sheet Wonder now gives you the ability to custom color your stamped images without bleed through or adding unnecessary bulk. One Sheet Wonder is part of the Pure Silk Collection and can be purchased by the 8.5 x 11 sheet or in a package of 25 sheets.

Sally Lynn was kind enough to create two cards featuring our One Sheet Wonder as the background.

We are taking pre-orders for both Detail Blending Paper and  One Sheet Wonder. Orders will ship on Tuesday, November 17, 2009.
