I figured any color craft ink that wasn't too dark would stamp and emboss well on black, but I'm new to this.
If I wanted to emboss Cool Caribbean onto black, how would I do it? I tried it, but with a small image. I don't know if that's why it didn't work or not.
Thanks!
Have you tried the bleach technique?
My demo showed us how to use bleach one time - it's a cool effect.
You put a paper towel in a plate or shallow dish (that is large enough to hold your stamp) - dampen the paper towel with bleach (doesn't need to be soaking) - stamp on the paper towel and then onto your paper.
Rinse your stamp off immediately - the bleach won't hurt the stamp except that it has a drying effect on the rubber.
I think I'm missing how you did this since Caribbean doesn't come in craft. I'm not sure how you would get it, but could probably use turquoise and if you had CC elsewhere on the card, the turqoise would probably look like like CC. If not maybe stamping once with white craft, then with turq. (or vice versa). Post if you come up with something good!
Also, the metallics (gold, silver, copper) look nice on black.

Classic ink isn't used for embossing because it doesn't stay wet long enough to hold the embossing powder. You could stamp in cool caribbean then versamark and emboss it with clear.If it doesn't show up very well you could try stamping first in white, then caribbean then versamark.
