    @navoff1 Рік тому

    What a lovely set of cards. I know some other bloggers have run into the same issue of the BetterPress ink getting muted when ink blending over it so they switched to doing the ink blending first. I like your suggestion of spritzing the finished panel with water.

    • @MichelleShortTheCardGrotto
      @MichelleShortTheCardGrotto  Рік тому

      Thank you so much. Yes, I saw that Mindy said the same thing. I did try ink blending first and you definitely get a better result but I find it much easier to see where I am ink blending when the image is already in place. I do think the water helps a bit though. Thank you so much for watching!
