Many companies market “scrapbooking” paint for use by scrapbookers, which is often priced at up to $6 a bottle. It is archival safe, and acid-free.
Cheaper alternative: acrylic paint that you can find anywhere.
As far as I have found and researched, the acrylic paint marketed to scrapbookers, and the acrylic paint that you can find at any craft or dollar store, is completely the same. I get mine from Dollarama, and pay $1 for a bottle that is almost 3 times larger than those at other stores!
Plus, I use my StampinUP! reinkers and colour the paint to match the cardstock and inks that I use. This way, everything can still coordinate – bonus! Extra bonus – I can affor to buy more of the matching ribbon and embellishments, because I saved so much on NOT paying $3-$6 for a tube of paint!!!
If it’s true that “money doesn’t care who owns it”, then it might as well be us!
