I remember my mother going to parties in the 60's (like tupperware) for a type of paint that came in tubes but had a roller tip like a ball point pen. The name was Tri Chem Liquid Embroidery. It looks like that style of "drawn lines". They sold all kinds of pre-stamped items and you colored them as you pleased. Here is a link to some ebay auctions.

I'm putting my money on Tri-Chem as the maker. Apparently they are still in business. Maybe if you email them a pic they could confirm or deny my hypothesis and maybe even give you an approximate date of manufacture.

Here is an auction that includes a black velvet prestamped sheet. http://cgi.ebay.com/large-lot-15-pictures-paint-vintage-80s-Tri-chem-/310064927137?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item48314f51a1
I'm done editing now. Time for bed. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. We had a lot of TriChem around the house when I was a kid.
