Today, Betsy is sharing on her blog some tips and tricks for detail blending and sponging that you can use on your next project: DTtips042117

"Ink blending and sponging is one of my favorited techniques for creating backgrounds.  I love the soft, blended look!  I decided to try my hand at giving this technique a bit of a spin by doing some “detail” sponging with small make-up sponges.  Stop over at my blog to check out the results and get a few tips for trying it yourself…all you need is your ink pads and some small sponges!"
