A word about supplies. Start off easy! Don't feel like you need gobs of supplies to get started. Begin with a journal (sketchbook) and a few bottles of ink, one black stamp pad and a few rubber stamps, maybe 3 stencils and a set of washi tape along with your favorite bold pen. Then add as you go along!
Please note: these prices are not guaranteed, they are simply the last price I have paid for these items. Prices will vary.
