I took Happy Heart's advice and bought another stamp of theirs to use for the nose and mouth "Sitting Alva". But I can't seem to get it right yet. I still only have one other stamp "Shabby Chic Tilda" and she is sitting a little side on and so it's hard to position the other stamp over it. If the stamps were clear it would be easier. I love the Alva stamp anyway, so it doesn't matter. Does anyone know of a particular black pen which would be good to use to draw in a mouth when wanted? I have tried a couple but they look different from the rest of the image (Stazon). I think too though, that it is probably only me (or another stamper) who would notice the ink difference. The kids that are given these cards I have made would never notice! LOL. I guess what I would really like is a clear stamp of a suitable face that I could just cut out the mouth and nose and use as a separate stamp, don't know if any cute little faces come in clear stamps though.

The 'Copic Multiliner' is one that I use--I don't draw faces, but if the image doesn't stamp as clearly or even misses a spot I just fill it in with the multiline...the great thing is that the ink doesn't bleed, so if you are using Copics there are no worries!
I ABSOLUTELY adore these stamps! I was instantly draw to their face! My daughter on the other hand says "I just dont get the whole no face thing"! I am not so much a fan of the ones you can see the wings on--not sure why. But I defintely DO NOT like the alva series (the little elfs), those creep me out! LOL! As an aside, I have always loved the little mouse stamps, can't remember who they are by, but those are just so stinkin cute!
House Of Mouse stamps are super cute. If thats the ones you are talking about.
Yep, that is them....the sad thing is that years ago I went through a 'purge' stage and through them all out! I think in my mind, I was switching over to acrylic and that was that! Must've lost my mind! LOL! I went to HL the other day and they had some. I just have such a hard time with rubber, but mostly with sentiments or alphabets.
