Review on 📒 Medium 74lb Legion Yupo Polypropylene Pad, 5 X 7 inches, 10 Sheets, White (L21-YUP197WH57) by Carol Miller

REALLY different for the job. I love to stamp, make postcards and use my own copies. At first I was a bit disappointed with this non-paper. But as I drove on, I found it funny. I printed some Art Impressions on it, embossed it and started copics. As you know, Copics are great markers for shuffling, but using them on Yupo paper was different. I would set my first color aside and then mix with the next, but if I wasn't careful it would all blend into a new color. Eventually I realized that I had to let the first layer almost dry and then try to layer it on. Still difficult but better. I don't think it would be possible to colorize Copics without inking because it prevented me from working on the inside and prevented the colors from flowing through the lines. I awkwardly cut out the images, and the polypropylene paper was a strength that paper does not have. This made the images stand out from the paper background and appear more voluminous. Even if it takes some getting used to, I really liked the result in the end. Now I'm curious to try this with other markers, inks, paints etc.
