I have been looking in Joanna's shop and she recommends to use either Stazon or Brilliance ink pads to stamp the image with. I want to emboss in white, so what colour ink pad do you stamp with please? so that the image doesn't blur etc. Thanks, Andrea xx

No it`s not differcult - it actually heats and turns very quickly - I always use Joanna parchment as it is a little thicker and always have great results I also use vesramark - and i`m proud to say since the NEC and getting a new clean pad I use it on new stamps or cleaned stamps only so the pad keeps clean - i`m impressed as normally my versamark looks a right state Suzanne

I'll also get myself some of Joanna's embossing powders too. I really wasn't sure on how to go about it, but sheenies have come to the rescue once again. Andrea xx

Have tried it a few times and it does work. Linda
