Fabric that is!
It is really quite easy to stamp on fabric/jersey if you use the right inks and a steady hand. Make sure that you pre_wash the item that you will be stamping on. It helps to have an old t-shirt or similar handy to try out things before you go for the real thing. I stamped this onesie using the Sunflower and the Happy Bee . I used Palette hybrid inks for stamping, some fabrico markers for coloring and also used a fantastix brush to pick up some color from small palette cubes to do some more coloring. All those inks are wash-proof after heat setting.
If your inks are quite juicy, do insert a piece of card stock into or under the item to be stamped to make sure that it doesn't leak through, it is also easier to stamp that way with a bit of firmness right under the fabric. When you use outline stamps to be colored, heat set the stamped outline before you start coloring it. Lets put this thing into action, shall we? 
Ahhh, I think it meets approval! :)
