Not sure if you specifically wanted a silhouette stamp or not, but Eat Cake Graphics has a line art version of a girl pulling a boy and a dog on a sled. I own this stamp and it's really cute!

I agree 100%. The combination of VersaFine Onyx ink with fine clear embossing powder has worked perfectly for me. I haven't used my black embossing powder for years. The added bonus is that when...
