We’ve been effectively using sponges in several forms to add color and create backgrounds to our handmade greeting cards. There are sponges, Sponge Daubers, and even Sponge Brayers. Then recently, one of my sweet stampers told me about another tool. Watch my cardmaking tutorial to explore if you will like coloring with ink blending brushes better?

One of my sweet stampers recommended the Life Changing Blending Brushes by Picket Fence. How do you not try something with a name like that and recommendation? Click HERE to see the blending brushes on Amazon.
Did you see how my autumn tree was colored? The blending brushes were used for that too. If you missed it, go back and finish watching the tutorial now.
While watching to see if you’ll like coloring with ink blending brushes, I shared my background color combination of Blueberry Bushel/Daffodil Delight/Balmy Blue is one of the 50 unique color combinations from my 2018-2020 In Color Combinations e-book.
