I want to thank everyone for their good wishes & prayers for my puppy...Fidget had his 1 week check up after his surgery today and things are going well! The stitches are still in place and things looked fine. So far so good! We go back next week to have to stitches out and see if the lesions on his eyes have healed.
Today's Ink Blending Technique - #3 Multi-Color Gradient Blending....This technique is done in the same manner as Tech. # 2 (Part I & Part II)- Monochromatic Gradient Blending but with multiple colors of ink.
Supplies:
Ink Blending Tool & Foam - Ranger
Distress Inks - Ranger
Non-Stick Craft Sheet - Ranger
Cardstock (ATC's)
Instructions:
The basic difference between this technique and #2 is that you will be using 1 piece of Ink Blending Foam for each color. Once you have applied your first color, simply remove the foam and replace with the next piece.
NOTE: Don't discard the foams, they may be reused numerous times. I like to keep one piece of Ink Blending Foam per color family...reds (& pinks); Oranges; Yellows, etc. I keep one for Black and one for Browns as well. I have been using the same foams for over a year now and they are all still going strong!! They may also be washed if desired....I never have done it but they are durable enough to go through the wash :)
Since this technique is very similar to IBT #2 I will mainly be sharing examples of finished projects. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask...

Ooooh - gorgeous examples, Roni!
ReplyDeleteI have been rinsing out my Blending Foam after each session, so it's good to know I can just use them for color families instead and leave them alone. Less work for me, which is great b/c I am lazy! lol
BTW, they rinse out beautifully with just warm water if anyone wants to do it that way. I have very little staining on the pieces that I have been using for 6+ months.
