Level Up Your Cardmaking with Simple Ink Blending Technique | Crafty Meraki
Hello Crafty Meraki friends! It’s Deepa here this Sunday and with this weeks’ theme of Anything Goes, I thought I’d do my favorite technique - ink blending! I’m using the Crafty Meraki Layered Lily dies and a bunch of vibrant ink colors to create this gorgeous mini slimline card. If you’ve ever questioned your ink blending skills, this tutorial is for you. This technique is simple and easy, and I have a few tips which make the art of ink blending a simple skill to grasp. Plus I’ll teach you the trick to creating a cohesive bouquet like this one.
