Faux Leather HELP!!!

[Arctic Stamper]

I have been trying to replicate the faux leather technique, but I can't figure out how you guys get your color to stay so bright/dark. When I do it, the masking tape doesn't seem to hold the color very well and then when I heat the embossing powder, the color seems to fade right off of the tape. Any suggestions???

Thanks!

Hi Artic Stamper!

When I've made my faux leather, I've used several colors of ink PLUS I've started with dye ink and then used pigment ink, then topped it off with versamark and then the EP. My colors have never faded with this method.
