Default Recollections vs. Whisper White CS

What is the brightness, thickness and is the 110# recollections as smooth as whisper white from SU? Is it as white?

In my opinion, the thickness is absolutely awesome on the Recollections 110#. It is truly a sturdy cardstock, very, very thick. I don't know that it is as smooth. I think it's a slightly different white from SU Whisper White.

With that said, I use both of them together on the same cards.

Love the Recollections 110 paper. Great for cards bases, coloring and yes it is IMHO as white as the whisper white. I am still amazed at how cheap it is because the quality is amazing.

I use the 110 Recolllections for white bases and the 65 weight for white inside panels. I think the SU takes a stamped image better though.

IMHO - they are not in the same class.

Recollections is a very heavy and a great weight for card bases but it does not take into as well as SU WW. WW is very smooth and takes inks and pencils much better. I use GP/generic cardstock for insides of cards.
