Colourless Blender

Hi Everyone,
Over at the Mad for Markers Challenge Blog, the new challenge is ..........
to use your Colourless Blender.

I must say that I do use the colourless blender '0' alot, either to colour, erase mistakes or use with the 'sprays' that I make.

In this example, I have used the colourless blender with another colour marker to colour the wings. I like to use this technique (tip to tip) for wings & petals of flowers etc.

The Coloured wing (before glitter is added):
