Since I didn’t align my 12 Days of Inkmas properly, I decided to give you a bonus Inkmas. So, on this magically, snowy Christmas Eve here in Kansas City, I give you a toast of Diamine Wine Divine ($20 for 50ml bottle) to celebrate. As you can see, there is gold sparkle to the burgundy ink.…
On the last day of Inkmas, I finally broke and dipped into the glitter ink.
