Stamping on Dark Papers?
 
What do you use to stamp on dark papers like black or any other dark papers so you can see the image?

I have found that pigment ink (or craft ink as SU calls it) shows up better on dark paper. It's thicker than dye ink, so it doesn't soak in so much. Also, embossing with lighter colors on dark paper really stands out.

I love the Brilliance ink on dark papers, but the stuff is a little pricey ($13 CDN for one stamp pad from Mike's) and the pads can dry out quickly.

versamark and pearl ex were made to be used with dark papers. if you have the interference kind it's even more dazzling. gel pens are great for filling in colors after embossing with white or metallics.

The craft white or vanilla work great on black or other dark papers!

I agree with Skittlebrow. Versamark and Pearl Ex are BEAUTIFUL on dark papers!
