Could you try layering some white embossing powder on top of the white ink?
also... if you go this route... I would use ultra fine embossing powder, so the details of the snowflake will show. good luck!
I had thought about embossing, but I was going to try it the regular way first because I didn't want to spend the money on a heat gun.
I would hit up your nearest scrapbooking store and consult with them. I know there are different kinds of ink out there, some juicer than others and hold more pigment. The embossing is a good idea, but depending on how many you have to do could take a long time---plus, if you have never embossed before you can run curling the paper or over embossing and the snowflake looking like a blob. But definitely go by the scrapbooking store if you can.
I have found that the Cats Eye ink pads work really well. You can find a cheap heat gun at Michaels or Joanns thats about $20 and they have discount coupons all the time if you are looking into embossing.
You don't have to use a heat gun you can use on of those cups warmers that you can get at Walgreens. Their about 4-6 dollars.
Would embossing work ok on wrapping paper? I'm making the belly bands out of red gift wrap.
Yeah unfortunately white ink of any kind is usually too translucent to actually show up as a solid white on a dark color. (I had this same problem when trying to Gocco white ink on teal paper).
I haven't embossed before, but you seem to have some great advice above..... or, if you'd consider silver ink, metallic ink is usually a heavier consistency and more opaque.

So I bought a snowflake stamp and a white stampabilites pigment ink pad with the plan that I would use it on my deep red bellyband and write out the guests' names in white too. However, the white ink dries to a pink color, letting some of the red show through and definitely does not look white. Does anyone have any solutions? Is there a better brand of stamp ink or would dye ink solve this problem? Should I just go with silver or gold instead?
