Super helpful. Love your videos. Thank you.

[@simon.hurley]

Thanks Pamela!

I think I need to start taking notes on the papers I use. I love the ones for tiny spaces.

[@juliehardy7510]

Thank you that was really informative. I also like you repeating that we don’t have to buy the items but if we are experiencing difficulties we could consider trying them. 🥰

[@carriearii2675]

With all of the ink blending tools available it is overwhelming! thanks for the comparison!

[@jeanninelabiuk1492]

I Just Started Playing with the Domed Foam Blending Tool, and Yes They are a Game Changer! I Lobe Them! I Struggled with the Flat Round Ones...I Also Have the Brushes, and Value Those for Lighter Blending. Thanks for the Video! Take Care, and Be Safe.

[@BluebirdLaneCreations]

Great informational video today! I want to try those blending foams for sure!

[@cordeliaalderman391]

I use all three of the tools you showcased. I also have some of the large and small round flat brushes. I love ink blending and they all have their uses for different looks and techniques. Thank you for sharing and demonstrating how each tool can be used.

Thank you! It's been super helpful! Kisses from Barcelona!

[@robinmcauley3462]

I'm so glad you used the flower stencil! I had seen these and wondered how they looked. Now I need them!

[@RachelRamey]

It's really interesting that, with the stencil, the blending brush has a hazier look to the COLORED areas, but the blending foam has a hazier edge to the LINES.

[@simon.hurley]

Yes, I was surprised as well! I had never compared them side to side like that before... just depends on what look you are going for on the project. :)

[@jillweisenberger1707]

Do you sell your stark white card stock in bigger bundles than a 10 pack? I’m not finding any. Thanks. Love your videos.

[@cherylalikhani5957]

Thank you for the video. Is there a reason you don't include Amazon links?

[@1bjwlsn]

I like that you had the pictures of the items you used.

[@Sierra0209]

do you press or lightly touch the paper?

[@simon.hurley]

Both tools I apply a pressure to depending on how dark I want the color to turn out. :)

[@Sierra0209]

@@simon.hurley thank you Simon

[@rksgrben]

I wish I could buy your paper in The Netherlands...... It’s beautiful.... but the shipping costs and taxes from USA and Uk makes it so expensive...... but I love your videos, including this one!!

[@Love2Create62]

I have both the blender brushes and domed brushes, and I never realized they had different results. Are the finger daubers sufficient, or do the blending tools work much better? Thank you.

[@yazosoyo]

Those detail tools are always out of stock!

[@kblack861]

Fun video! I enjoy using both the round blender (the domed sponges are a huge improvement) as well as blending brushes. I agree with you that each provides a great look. Thanks again for your informative videos!

[@kazoomi2]

Great comparison. Well thought regarding what to show and how to do it. You’ve given me some great ideas on how I should try to use these products to see how they work for me. Thanks!

[@Crabbieabbie15]

Hey Simon do you have a recommendation for a stand to hold the ling handle blending brushes? The ones like the Gina K brand. Thank you

[@paulapenninella7343]

These have been so helpful. I have the domes and sticks on my shopping list with my next order, and some blender brushes on my wish list.

[@lauriegelo8094]

Thank you for this video. I found it really helpful. I can’t wait to get my foam domes that I have in order and give them a try.

[@joannfroman4976]

Thanks for sharing your techniques for using blending tools.

[@karensellers8264]

Nicely presented! Thanks a bunch Simon!

[@mmaez6146]

Thank You for showing the ink blending tools and difference they make

[@sarascreations6637]

Well. done Dude

[@mateuszjucha8715]

Extra👏

[@pamelasertich9850]

Great video Simon. I love your card stock!

[@ChrystalsChreationsWycoff]

Good Tips Simon. Originally I have been using the flat foams. Then I also got the little color coded brushes, which I like but they make my hands and arm hurt 😞 so I may get the rounded foams.

[@ChrystalsChreationsWycoff]

Loved your card too.

[@carcar1328]

Nice

[@RachelRamey]

My daughter had a question about your ink line: why, after starting with 12, are there 23 ink colors, not 24?

[@simon.hurley]

We are releasing them slowly. The line of inks is not complete... adding a few colors every few months. :)

[@Veronim78]

Thank you for sharing. Great tips and demonstrations. This video was very helpful to me. I have blending brushes but have done nothing with them yet. Love to purchase those tiny blenders.

[@simon.hurley]

Yay! So glad you found the video helpful... those tiny blenders have been such a game changer for me. :)
