i am having silver envelopes for my invitations. The ink from my black market seems to bleed and fade when i write on them (probably bc of the texture of the surface) making the words look very faint. I don't own a printer that i can run these through and i really don't want to use labels. do you have any suggestions?
Would you not consider the Martha Stewart side labels? I did those on my poppy orange colored envelopes (with an aqua design label) and they turned about beautiful!

posted by crave13 1 month agoHave you tried getting scrapbooking markers or pens (they come in all colors) from your local Michael's or scrapbooking store?
You could also take them to Kinko's maybe and have them print them for you. Just an idea. Or even find a local calligrapher to do them for you.
Hope this helps.

posted by quickbrownfox 1 month agoI've heard that Glaze gel pens work really well. I saw them on the Paper Source website a few days ago.
