Embossing return address on dark metallic envelopes

Anyone try to blind emboss on dark metallic envelopes for the invites? I'm unsure if I should order the stamp & if this is actually successful or not. The stamp is colorless & heatless. TIA!!

  • Talk to the company you'd be ordering the stamp from, and test a cheap stamp with the same ink on a paper sample.

  • If it looks fine on white paper, it will probably look fine on dark paper. Is the stamp expensive? Can you have them send you a sample embossed envelope?

  • I have dark envelopes as well (ruby purple stardream metallic to be exact!) and I found the silver embossing powder worked best for me with a clear or white stamp pad. 
     I would play around with different combinations of stamp pad and embossing powders to find what works best for your colors, but it can be done!! =)
