Does this work with any ink or glue

for example can I use a slower to dry ink or glue so I can draw up a design?

@wildboytheyoukai This will work with any ink that stays wet for a bit. I would not use a glue, because some glues will bubble when they get heated.

Is embossing powder the same as the velvet flock powder, becuase I am wondering if embossing gives a smooth riased 3d effect. I am soon makeing disney Rapunzels dress based on thelimited edition Rapunzel doll & the fabric has this deep Purple smooth velvet vine pattern on the Satin skirt, the effect is a raised 3d effect pattern on the surface of the fabric. I have no idea how to do this, so that's why i'm asking about this ambossing, if it gives that riased effect i'm after as I have no idea

@Traybuff Embossing powder and velvet flock powder are two different things. The flocking will give more of a texture similar to velvet and it is raised. Embossing powder does give a raised effect, but depending on the powder you use, can be smooth, glossy, bumpy or matte or a combination. Sounds like for what you are doing you may want to use flock powder. Hopefully that helps.

hi i have a question do you have to use card stock paper for the power to emboss on? because i tried on normal computer paper and it doesnt work =(

[RangerInd]

@xoxbabyRxox It should work on any paper. Maybe the ink you are using is drying out before you put the powder on?

[Sk8cait]

Do i need to store my pad in a baggie, i felt that my pad dried out and i feel like my powder dose not stay on or its not on thick enough and i keep curling the edges of my paper...

[datzfast]

that is not ink, its glue. im not amused

[CCNutella]

@junglee786 You cannot use a hair dryer because it does not get hot enough to melt the powder.
