Craft Ink Problem

[LilBit]

I recently made a card where I stamped a first layer that was embossed and then wanted to stamp another layer on top with white craft ink. The white craft ink WILL NOT dry!. I have done everything I can think of - except use the heat embossing tool a second time because I am afraid my first layer will remelt and "absorb" my white craft ink. Has anyone ever had this problem?

How long has it been? I've seen craft ink take a couple of days to dry -- depending upon humidity, etc.

It has been about 18 hours and I use a hair dryer to try to help it along. I'll try to be patience (not one of my better qualities when it comes to crafting - I want to see it NOW!) and see what happens.

It may never dry -- craft ink doesn't do well on nonporous surfaces, which is what you created when you did the embossing and then tried to stamp on top of it.

for this you might want to try the staz on white pad, it dries better then craft white

I would emboss the second layer with clear embossing powder and heat. This should allow the white ink to dry immediately.

Have fun!
