As Julia Sidebottom communicated to Wendy Apgar's starship:
 
 JS> Since I do not use an embossing pen I can't speak to that but I do
 JS> use and embossing ink that is in a "bingo dauber" type of bottle.  I
 JS> find using this on a stamp works well with the puff-ups also I have
 JS> taken a small paint brush and stroked on the embossing ink in areas
 JS> that were  real small and that I
 JS> wanted to fill in for accents... to date I have not had any trouble
 JS> with the puff ups sticking to the paper using these techniques...  I am
 JS> just wondering if I am getting more ink on the paper than you might be
 JS> with the  embossing
 JS> pen...  
 
 The only reason for using the pen was that I was using a
 stencil on the card so needed to fill in the space. But
 I would think that I had enough on the paper if I added
 other embossing powders to other parts of the card and 
 the embossing powders stuck to the areas that I had colored
 using the embossing pen for the puff paints. I have
 a friend that I'm going to pass some onto to try. Then she
 can help me if she has better results.  I will also see
 if I can find another image I can use it on and use my 
 color box embossing pad and see if that works better for
 me.
 
 JS> Like you, I love the Black Lame' it is just stunning... I have not
 JS> had all the time yet to play with all the goodies either...  But I am
 JS> getting closer all the time!  
 
 I've tried quite a few of them. Can't decide on a favorite
 but they have sure saved me money and been fun to use!
 Wendy
