I am trying to stamp an ornment - sparkley- on night of navy cs. I have tried every combination of:
white stazon
versamark
with; white ep, clear ep, dazzling diamonds glitter, irradescent ice embossing.
they all lose the sparkle before the ink or ep dries. What am I doing wrong or what could I use to create the effect.
TIA
Have you tried the embossing powder with the glitter already mixed in? I have some from M's that has clear glitter and it really shines. I use embossing ink when I stamp my image, then sprinkle with the embossing powder.
Here are some links to embossing powder with the glitter already mixed in.

id try the heat and stick powder first I did a few clay ornaments this way and don't forget if it's not a paper ornament to seal it, so it doesn't lose the glitter and stuff you just adhered. sealant is pretty easy to find and cheaper in the hardware store. i've also seen hairspray and other homemade sealants work just as good! hope this helps ya!
I have a glue "ink" pad, sorry I'm at work and don't know the brand but it works great. You rub it on the item and then heat a bit and sprinkle the glitter on...it worked great.
I am jusing SU's ornament stamp it is solid with a non inked snowflake in the middle. I was hoping to make the ornament white and sparkley and the snow flake show the night of navy cs through. I used every combination available of the white stazon, irredescent ice, dazzling diamonds and versamark. mixing, matching etc. I loose the sparkle effect when I heat it, for all the methods.
I don't know how to use heat and stick powder, is there a way to make the stamped image white and use heat and stick with glitter? I also have a glue pad, never used it. I don't think I want to ink up my rubber on it though, not sure how well it cleans off.
Iwould use stickles or glitter pens but I am looking at a very solid image. oh and I am punching it out with the ornament punch as well.
thanks
Yes, if you stamp with white craft (pigment) ink, sprinkle the heat & stick while wet, heat just until shiny, then sprinkle the dazzling diamonds. Reheat just briefly. It will be white because of the craft ink, and it will be sparkly because of the glitter (which will just stick where the ink was).
If you don't have white craft ink maybe you can borrow some from another demo to try it?
dazzling help please
sorry ignore the previous post i made!
