thumbprint guestbook tree question :)

mosaicmoscato

so my grandma is drawing out a tree for my guest book & then we would like the guests to use an inkpad to make a thumb print as a leaf i was wondering, for those of you who have done this, what type of ink did you use for the ink pad? & where did you buy it? i believe the tree will be on heavy cardstock.

I was just at a wedding last weekend that did something similar except that instead of using a thumbprint (potential to be very messy!), they had a little leaf stamp that we used and then we signed our names around the edge of the leaf.  It was really cute

edited to add:  They also had the print already framed so it looked really nice on the table too

i did one for my sister's baby shower and got the ink from michael's. the ink section explained which type of ink would work for various projects. i also double checked with a sales person. i bought a four-pack of ink and it worked really well. the leaves were different colours that worked well together.

I'd suggest having wet wipes for people to wipe the ink off their fingers afterwards. That should help minimize the mess.
