There are other inks that can be used as embossing inks. These inks are usually inks that dries slow enough so that the embossing powder has time to stick to it (usually a pigment type ink). When you use these inks you can use them with clear embossing powder and then the ink colour will show through. This way you don’t need so many colours of embossing powders.
