Oh my – I just love these little girlies! They are unbearably cute! This is a new set from the Greeting Farm called Signature. It comes with all three girls and some sentiment stamps geared towards making homemade things. Plus it has a copyright stamp if you want to identify items to sell.

The “debossed” (pressed in) part of the paper ends up coated with ink. I have had the best success with opaque pigment or chalk ink. I like to use...
