Stamping on Acetate
Brilliance Ink:
You can stamp on Any acetate with Brilliance ink. You must watch that you don't allow the stamp to slide as you stamp it. This ink will take anywhere from 1/2 hour to overnight to dry depending on humidity, temperature and material stamped on. You can speed up this process with a hair dryer or if you are using heat resistant acetate, your heat gun. When you are heating, watch how close you get the heat gun to the acetate. Heat resistant acetate will distort if the gun is placed too close to the acetate. If you smudge the image you can erase the ink with water and start again. This ink will air dry on acetate and is fairly durable, but it is not permanent unless it is heat set.Memories Ink

Pigment Ink and Embossing powder
You can stamp on heat resistant acetate with Pigment ink and emboss. When you are embossing, watch how close you get the heat gun to the acetate.

It is easy to rub off the embossing if the piece is handled a lot.
