If you had a line-drawn image you would use a permanent ink. I actually use black staz-on for most of my water-coloring needs. I stamp the image with staz-on and then I watercolor it using my classic stampin' pads. If you are getting the spots. You can press the spot on a plastic lid to get some ink to work with. I like to use aquapainters or blender pens to pick up the ink for watercoloring.
If you would like to heat emboss in Stampin' Up's colors, you can stamp using the craft ink and then sprinkle with clear embossing powder and then emboss with your heat tool.
However, if you already have colored embossing powders, you can use versamark (which is a clear pigment ink), then sprinkle with your colored embossing powder and heat. Versamark is also good for making watermarks (tone on tone stamping) and many other things.
If this helps any, I use the classic stampin' pads much more than I use the craft ones. I'm mainly a cardmaker.
