Right Photo: Stamp image using Black ink across the top of each pouch before assembly. Did you notice? My stamp is very long and I didn't have an acrylic long enough so improvides and used the clear acrylic plate from my Big Shot Decorative Strip Cutting Pad.............cool, eh? It worked so that's allthat counts.
