hey....
yap, paper towel will do too, make sure you choose one that has pretty texture print!
edm are minerals! you will NEED the pressing medium like EZPress from CS. but i heard you an use jojoba oil instead and add abit of alcohol to do the pressing, but i havent tried it yet so i don't knw if it really works.
you can only use alcohol for non-mineral pigments like MAC pigments if not the mineral pigment will turn out to be chalky and breaks easily. =))

hope it helps!
