The next step is to get you ink blending tools. This can be sponges, sponge daubers, etc. I start with the lightest color and I recommend inking it onto your paper lightly at first and then build upon that color until it's the saturation you like. Then continue with the next colors. I like to got back over where each color meets and add some more of the previous color, making sure that I'm blending the colors smoothly. As a fun touch, you can put a little ink on a paint brush and flick it (or use your arm to tap the brush against) to get a beautiful ink splatter effect. I definitely recommend trying this technique on your projects. It's adds so much rich color-plus it's fun! As always, all supplies used to make this card are listed below.
