The lady at my local paper/scrapbooking company (think PaperSource type) told me to use pens that say "pigment ink". I got a Zig's archival quality pen, and at least on coverweight Stardream (my test paper) it dries very fast, and didn't smudge when I sprayed the paper with water and rubbed. It MAY be different on text weight, but hopefully not. I have Stardream Gold, and black showed up pretty well.
My invitations (DIY) have stardream envelopes in a bronze color. Does anyone have any recommendations for what to use to write on them?
Thanks!
