I use the same paper for both my Dye and Oxide inks, but I find that Oxides are a little more forgiving on paper due to the pigment quality of the ink. However, Dye inks thrive on a smooth surface.&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/shrsl.com\/30coh\">Simon Says Stamp 130 lb cardstock<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;is my&nbsp;<strong>favorite.&nbsp;<\/strong>Want to get serious about ink blending \u2013 your going to need to invest in a good paper.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Brushes vs. Foam Blending Tools<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 My opinion, brushes all the way! I found that I can vary the amount of ink I lay down better with a brush, especially when I hold the brush my \u201csignature\u201d way.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Trick \u2013<\/strong>&nbsp;Do you have an oil spot your can\u2019t cover? Use a Splatter\/Spatter of water to create more interest on your inked panel.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tip \u2013&nbsp;<\/strong>Layer lite! You can always add more ink to your blending, you however cannot remove too much ink. So light hand when blending.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tip<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 Be sure to tap off your brush after loading the color to avoid having brush strokes on your paper.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tip<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 Are you having a hard time blending some of you colors? Be sure you have a juicy ink pad.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Opinion<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 Can you mix Simon\u2019s original inks vs. their Pawsitively Saturated inks (one is water reactive and the other is not) on the same brush. I say \u2013 Yes! I have both lines and use the same brushes for each, however, I can understand why people do not. I currently haven\u2019t experienced an issue between the two and used them blended together. This&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CxQVkt9NBaN\/?img_index=1\">card is a perfect example<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;of using both lines together for a seamless blend.\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Also use my original distress inks with these same brushes!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">YouTube Tutorial<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Saturated Ink Color Blend Series\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/b2dKecsnjXw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello Crafty Friends!
