Welcome everyone! Today we are celebrating the new Hero Arts 2021 Catalog with a blog hop!
All of the blog hop info will be at the end of this post along with a list of supplies used on my cards today.
Buckle up! I have a lot to share with you.
I love to ink blend backgrounds but I know some people struggle with achieving a smooth transition between colors. The technique today is quick, easy and gives you such a smooth blend it appears almost airbrushed!
VIDEO
I have a video for my cards today that you can view down below or HERE on my Youtube channel. It will show you how to create lots of backgrounds in minutes. I’ll take those backgrounds a step further using products from the catalog release.
