What is the name of the kind of paper that will transfer what you have traced or drawn onto something else

Question

When I was a kid I had a picture of a daisy and we used this kind of paper to put underneath the daisy picture and as I traced around the daisy it transfered onto a flower pot. What is the name of this kind of paper?

Answer 1

It could be carbon paper, graphite transfer paper (it comes on grey white and at least one other color) or you can create your own by using the flat side of a pencil and shading a piece of paper in an area large enough to trace your image through.  Just place your home-made carbon paper CARBON side down on the object you want to transfer to, put your original on top and trace it!  And tape them down so they don't shift. . . .  

Answer 2

It could be baking paper. I used to used this over a picture i was tracing and then turned the baking paper over and shaded over the lines i had drawn resulting in the picture being copied over to a new piece of paper

Answer 3

If you put it under the picture you were tracing it sounds like carbon paper:
