Ink Blending!

Four ink blending examples

Today I’m popping in to share some fun ink blending using Taylored Expressions ink. Ink blending is one of my favorite techniques and a while back I took some time to experiment with different color combos and methods of blending. The panels above are the result! For all of my panels I used the Folk Art Tulip stencil and TE’s Sugar Cube cardstock. I’m a little obsessed with Taylor’s Folk Art supplies!

The first blend I created uses Guava, Candy Corn and Toffee ink. I LOVE how the more subtle Toffee ink balances the boldness of the Guava and Candy Corn!

My second ink blend is one I always seem to gravitate towards – rainbow. I love that I can make so many different varieties just my mixing up the tones a little bit. This one has a bit more of a jewel tone and I really LOVE the Dijon ink in there as yellow! For this blend I used Jelly Donut, Blueberry, Cilantro, Dijon, Pumpkin and Cherry Pop.

My third blend is also a jewel tone blend using Blueberry, Blue Raspberry and Lime Zest. I adore blue and green blends… they are so relaxing!

My last blend is a more subtle light blend using Gumball, Lavender Glaze and Earl Grey. I really like how the Lavender Glaze transformed when mixed with the Gumball and Earl Grey – it’s the perfect transition!

Now I definitely couldn’t make all these blends and not make a card! I used the Guava, Candy Corn and Toffee blend to make a quick birthday card.
