Ink blending doesn’t have to be intimidating! In today’s post, I’m sharing an ink blending hack every crafter should know—starting with colored cardstock. This simple trick makes blending easier, faster, and helps you achieve rich, smooth color transitions without overworking your inks. I’ll walk you through the process step-by-step and show you how a colored base can completely change your results.

Starting with colored cardstock truly takes the pressure off ink blending. Instead of trying to build depth from a stark white base, that subtle foundation color does a lot of the work for you — allowing your inks to blend faster, smoother, and with far less effort.
I hope this little hack inspires you to rethink your ink blending routine and see how starting with colored cardstock can transform your results. Sometimes it’s the simplest tweaks that make the biggest difference! Don’t forget—you can find all of the supplies linked in the video description and see the full visual supply list below. Thanks so much for stopping by today, and I can’t wait to share more crafty inspiration with you soon!
