VersaMark Dazzle frost

[Priscilla]

Anyone used this yet? I just bought it and it's still sealed. The store clerk wasn't able to help me. I want to stamp some white (snow) trees on a metallic silver CS. I'm low on white ink and when I went to the store for refills, I came across this VersaMark. The package indicates "frost" which I am assuming white? Will my image be white like with white ink? Or is this a 'shadow' like the regular versamark? What is the difference? I've tried to goggle it but haven't really found any answers. THANKS.

I haven't used it yet but I understand it comes out very light. I'm not sure it's what you want.

I'm pretty sure it's the translucent watermark effect like regular Versamark, but with a bit of sparkle. I have the Champagne Dazzle and that's what it is like. I think the frost just has a different glitter.

It is a watermark ink like the regular Versamark with a slight sheen to it. I don't think it would work well for what you are looking for even on dark paper.

The only way I have ever used it is to ink up the stamp with the Versamark, mist it with water, and stamp onto paper that I have inked using the direct to paper technique. I really like the subtle effect.

Thanks everyone. I guess I'll return it. Have too many things I don't need. But I do need WHITE ink...

I like to use it for my name stamp on the back of dark CS, it adds just a bit of shimmer.

My favorite is PapertreyInk's white ink. Of course you would have to pay shipping, but it is worth it!

No, this is not a white color at all. It is a clear Versamark image with a very pale shimmer to it. For a good white ink, I love Papertrey Ink's Fresh Snow inkpad.
