Smooth cardstock - the smoother the better - and don't give up - practice makes perfect - they are not as easy as watercolours - but the colours are amazing!

Need a bit of advice please I got my Prismas a few weeks ago and did quite well with them, I use Versafine ink and everything was fine. But then I needed more card and got ******** Up Whispers White as quite a few people recommended this. I stamped more Magnolia images about a week ago and only last night got round to colouring them in - so the ink should certainly have been dry. But when I started to colour with the Prismas - before I even started to blend with Sansador - certain parts of the stamped images started to smudge very slightly. As this didn't happen before, I can only think it's the smoothness of the card combined with the Versafine ink. I think I've read that some people use Stazon ink - would this be the answer? I don't mind buying some but don't want to waste money if this wouldn't help. Would very much appreciate advice - thanks a lot!!

I use stayzon for my images as I found that my versafine smudged too. I'm in Oldbury, if your anywhere near I could either send you some or we could meet and give you some stamped with stayzon for you to try before you buy.
Let me know

Gosh - that was quick!! Thanks so much Tracie that'd be really helpful. Either would be great, but if you could send me a couple of images it'd probably be better as I'm on public transport and although I'm not far away I don't know Oldbury that well - except for the Savacentre - I can find my way there!! I'll be in touch - and thanks again for your kind offer.

No probs. PM me with detail when you are ready hun.
Also let me know if you want any particular images stamped and if I have them i'll do them for you.

Hi,
I've used Faber Castell PolyChromos and got pretty good results.... I also heard the Derwent Coloursoft do the same job. HTH

I got my Primas last week and just before I got them I found 72 Rexel Cumberland Derwent Studio pencils, hardly used that I got for doing my Art A Level (about 400 years ago)........................I have just done a Derwent vs Prisma test and I can't tell the difference!!! They seem to do the same job - yay!!!
