  • Today, I made a simple autumn card and answered lots of your questions about all things ink blending!

Thank you so much for joining me! And remember the color circle and never skip more than one color when blending!

    Bristles are NOT all the same and they matter when it comes to smooth ink blending. It’s good that you’re explaining the brushes.

    A family member requested a sunset card and I realized that I needed to get up to speed fast on ink blending. I watched your video from beginning to "blend" and can't wait to give it a try! ;) Thanks so very much for all of the information you share. I think you could turn any novice cardmaker into a better than horrible cardmaker with your shared experience and knowledge. So grateful!

    I didn’t realize this is what I need! Thanks so much for this! I’ve never heard about how to use proper colors and blend them together. I learned Roy G Biv in freshman college class in astronomy😁. Don’t remember much else. Thanks for the humor & greta music Tom. You two are a great blend🤗

    Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! At the end of this video, I am going to go play with colors and have a great chance that they will not look like mud! I do not have to wait to find color combos I like by watching people and seeing it works, I now can figure it out on my own!!! This just took my crafting to a whole new level. Again, THANK YOU!

    My skin color has cool tones, so that’s what I gravitate towards in my stamping. I use the royal colors a lot. I always choose pink over salmon or peach. Thank you for making the color wheel with warm tone ink cubes! It helps me to understand where I need to experiment. My mom has a lot of warm tones in her skin, so she likes to use peach and salmon. Now I can make a card in her fave colors.

Love Tom and his words of the day...priceless! Wanted to let you know that I am watching your RUclips videos while I am walking on my treadmill.....makes the time go by faster...I am getting a twofer....watching and walking...can’t be that! Take care and have a great weekend!

    Another way to do the stamp would be to stamp the image while the masking paper was still on it. That way it would look more like a “window to the garden”. I’ve never even heard of the masking paper before and of course now that I have, it just makes so much sense. It’s a beautiful card, thank you for the video/stream. Have a wonderful day!
