This might be called something else but...
When I was helping with Rubbernecker up at Puyallup last year (or 2) you actually DO/CAN use Alcohol Ink...
Stamp the image with Embossing Ink
Sprinkle with embossing powder
Heat til melted
Cover emobssed image with alcohol ink per directions
Take a piece of copy paper and place it over the stamped/emobssed image.
Using a iron (preferably one without steam holes) "iron" the copy paper. You will see a grease stain (lol) show up on the copy paper. quickly yet carefully lift the copy paper off of your inked CS and viola! Now, if it sticks slightly due to cooling quickly just stick your iron on it again....
If you are using a LARGE image you will need to use clean pieces of paper to get all the embossing powder off, tip your card sideways and if it's not lookin like stuff is stuck to it you are done!
I hope this makes sense it's SUPER easy... if I can do it.... :rolleyes: LOL
