Scratch & Sniff help!

[flowerbugnd1]

Ok, I've mixed 2 parts EP with 1 part strawberry unsweetened kool-aid. Stamped in Versamark & sprinkled with the mix, then embossed. It turns out well, but it smears when you rub it! Scratching is ok, but when I was adhering it I got red smears on the white cardstock.
I admit I used red EP since I couldn't get a decent color with clear. All I got was a dull brown red color when I used clear EP. Can't I use colored EP?
This is for my Technique class this month, so I have to figure it out. Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi LeeAnn,
I was looking for scratch n sniff tips and read your entry. I then noticed that you're in Minot, ND. We're on our way there in August!!: Any good stampin/scrappin clubs I need to know about?

I used 3 parts EP to 1 part regular kool-aid (the kind you add your own sugar to) that seems to work the best. I found the unsweetened kool-aid doesn't really smell. PM me if you have any questions. Hope that helps.
