Mixed media paper --- Question

What kind of plain white paper, is best to use with the Tim Holtz Mixed Media crayons, or a similar type products?
I need something that doesn't leak through to the other side, if I use the crayon.....then smudge, mist it, sponge it with water, etc....

I looked in the art section of my local craft store, but there are different types and choices.
What do the Peas recommend?

Thank you in advance.

Mixed media paper will also work, but it gives different results. I think you'll be happier with the wc paper.

The do work the very best with his products.

If I'm going to be using a lot of water then I always gesso first.

It's a really nice white, not yellowish and it takes water well. ETA: And there is no texture like regular watercolor paper.
