Lovely blending. I do love the DOX. It's nice to see the comparison blends.

[@pebblesstleonards]

Distress Oxide inks are my absolute favourite! ❤ Thank you for all the tips 😊

[@whichwitchhazel]

Brilliant, I love the comparison of blends xx

[@Teresa-Q]

Love these color combos. Love distress oxides too. 🩷🩷🩷

[@Seedsofkindness01]

I only own distress oxides and distress ink cubes. I use both brushes dome and blending brushes. I love distress Oxides and inks they are so versatile.

[@teresapalzes1964]

Loved your combos! Kristina, thank you sharing your creative wisdom.

[@patticallihan8515]

Thank you Kristina for sharing this video. I love it when you do color blending. Your ideas are so inspiring.🩷🌸🩷🌸

[@maryannward7771]

Thank you for sharing these tips! Love your color combos!Can't wait to see more!

[@dolcevitausa6448]

Thank you for the video...saving it to favorites so I can use it as a cheat sheet to see what colors blend well together. ; )

[@cathymorris8072]

It is so interesting that the C9 inks are so much more vibrant. I love ink blending with Distress Oxides but I have most of the Gina K inks and will give those a try. I'd love to see your take on blending with Gina K inks. Oh and the Carved Pumpkin, Picked Raspberry and Seedless Preserves is a stunning blend!! Thanks

[@CraftyKiwiMama]

The dye inks really are so saturated. Lovely to see the comparison and the texture of the paper showing was interesting compared to the smooth finish of the oxide inks. Oxides were a total game changer for me, I couldn't ink blend until those were released, they made things so much easier, as did better blending tools. But for a deep and dramatic blend, the ink seems a good option. Thanks for doing the comparison xoxo

[@Gloria_Davis]

Great color combos!

[@kristinekerr3688]

🤗 luv ink blending❤

[@seekhim1560]

I just came across my list of your ink blending combinations when I was straightening up my craft room! Never gets old!! Thank you - - As a side note, I enjoyed the Alaskan cruise so much!! We did about the same thing around three weeks before you. We were on the Discovery Princess, also a beautiful ship!

[@monicacastaneda9217]

I LOVE this video and the comparisons!

[@corinarazo1404]

Well blended, as per usual. Thank you for your mini class on line!

[@cz5148]

Love your ink blends! Have quite a few from pinterest but you have definitely captured my interest in the Concord and 9th ink colors. Thanks

[@SarahArnoldTheAccidentalArtist]

This is always my favorite type of video that you do because I don't anyone else does it and you do it so well! Question- I like to use the ink blended backgrounds for silhouette stamping and I always prefer distress oxides. How do you get a very black image? Is it the type of black in k you use or just stamp it many times? Thank you Kristina, Sarah

[@brendaleister6058]

Love your color choices! Would love to learn how you choose colors. I'm trying to learn the color wheel.

[@craftyShirleyG]

I love it when you do ink blend combos. I learn so much every time. TY

[@safairb]

Loved this so much! I loved seeing the comparison between the inks. ❤

[@terrilockwood4303]

I have had very good luck using water color paper with my ink oxides. I love to spritz the paper with water after I do the blending.

[@stellarcraftsbypam]

Could you do a comparison video the same way but with using stencils?? I really needed this info right now!

[@surfinjan]

I don't think I've ever commented on your blending videos. I love them and am so glad you have highlighted both compatible ink combinations and technique. Fascinating to see this comparison. Glad I have both but will definitely stick to Oxides for larger blends.

[@suetownsend1932]

Beautiful blends, Kristina. Thank you for the tips and hints.

[@dorasanchez5075]

I love your blended colors. Thanks 😊

[@saraplease3615]

These are so pretty. I would love to see them made into cards now!

[@suewietsma8585]

Love seeing the blending

[@kayfurnish8715]

Gorgeous blends, Kristina! Would the C9 inks smooth out after they are dry and not show quite as much of the paper texture? I know Gina K and Simon Hurley inks have a smoothing agent and while they look a little blotchy at first, once dry they smooth out beautifully. Also, I think the paper makes a huge difference. The much smoother Gina K and Simon Hurley white cardstocks blend so much better for me than any other cardstock I've tried. I will try C9 inks on my next blend and see how they do on those cardstocks because I love the color combos you used! Thanks for a very informative video!

[@tammihaas4299]

I'm really happy about your new adventures with C9, along with HBS they're my favorite companies. Do you think there's a difference in the ink blending between using foam with the oxides and brushes for C9?

[@kwernerdesign]

The Oxides are a very creamy ink and are more forgiving when using the foam blending tools. I find that the foam tools are a great way to get a heavy application of ink quickly, which aids in blending the Oxides. However, dye inks like the C9 inks soak into the cardstock quickly and a heavy application is difficult to blend. I find it easier to build up color slowly with dye inks. That's why blending with brushes is easier. I can't say I've even attempted to use foam tools with the C9 inks, though.

[@kristen2439]

I love Al the combos

[@Taitcreates639]

Superior ink blends, very well done

Is it possible to separate your card videos from your mail videos when we subscribe?? I am not into nails, and it seems to trigger more notifications that are unwelcome.
