Embossing ink

From Craft Wiki

Embossing ink or watermark ink is a clear, slow drying and slightly sticky ink.

This ink is available in large ink pads, small ink pads or cubes, pens, refill bottles …

There are a few different applications for this type of ink:

  • Applying the ink to colored cardstock will darken the paper and give a watermark look
  • Applying the ink to any kind of card stock or surface will allow embossing powder to stick to the inked areas, in order to heat emboss
  • Next to embossing powder, pigment powders can be used in the same way: by adding it (with a paintbrush) to the inked areas. It's possible you'll have to fixate the powder to prevent it from rubbing off.
