You can use distress ink pads as they are water based, you can also use your brilliance or the big and juicey.
The versamark and perfect medium are really best with embossing powder but promakers will colour the embossing, so best avoid them and save for other colouring techniques or when you use them for resist techniques.

promarkers are solvent based so use with water based inks
stazon is solvent based so use with watercolours.

Hope that helps.
