Having a little “off” time in Half Moon Bay, i stopped at Luna’s Memories, a well stocked craft and rubber stamping store.
I picked up a colorless blender at the suggestion i could use it to mix my own colors — and with the hint at using it in this transfer technique. (311 from Eberhard Faber)
I also picked up two “shadow inks” — soft grey (sc 132) and soft mauve (sc 145) from Hero Arts.
