Matte Cardstocks
Matte cardstocks have no coating at all on their surface and are highly absorbent. They also have a "dull" look to the surface with no shine at all and come in a multitude of colors and textures. Matte cardstocks work well for almost all paints as long as you block the cardstock prior to painting. Duplex cardstocks are also matte and are unique because they are one color on one side and a different color on the other side. Duplex cardstocks are often heavier than other matte cardstocks. The weight of this cardstock is indicated by “pound” (i.e. - #). The higher the pound, the heavier the cardstock. The average weight of the most commonly used matte cardstock is 65-80 #.
Products which work well with matte cardstocks are, but not limited to: All types of inks (air dried), chalks, oil pastels, chalk pastel pencils and sticks, Radiant Pearls, Pearl Ex (wet or dry), Lumiere and Neopaque paints, Pearl Ex Watercolor Palettes, blender pens, dye based and permanent markers (won’t leave streaks if you use a blender pen), watercolor crayons, colored pencils, watercolor pencils, waterbrushes, Dove Blender brushes.
Techniques which work well on semi-gloss/matte coat are, but not limited to: sponging, painting, stippling, brayering, heat embossing, Direct to Paper (with any type of ink), Direct to Rubber with watercolor crayons.
