I do not often do ink blending. Mostly because I tend to forget I can do that with inks, and also time.

It takes time to blend inks properly, and I don’t usually have much time, and I’m a bit heavy-handed with my blending tools.

My last card-kit, however, involved a bit of blending to colour some flower-petals. I only got it because it had two (TWO!) ink colours I don’t already have. It came with some new finger-daubers, too, so I didn’t even have the excuse that my old sponge daubers were disintegrating. That’s how long since I last use Not that that matters, because I have some brush ones too.

Anyway, I’d like to say that it’s all a matter of using the right daubers, or the right instructions, or something, and my ink blending came out perfectly and I wasn’t heavy-handed at all, and I’ll be ink blending all my cards from now on.
I’d like to, but that would be a lie.

But I’m still pretty pleased with how the cards turned out, even if I also didn’t read the adhesive instructions properly so some bits which should have been stuck with dimensionals weren’t. Hey ho. Easier to send through the post if they aren’t raised, anyway.

And I’ll have to try to ink blend more often. Because, as with all things, I suspect the secret to being better at it is simply to Practise More. And it does look good for the flower-petals.
