Hi Laurel, I always appreciate your honesty with the "expensive" craft we have.
I got some makeup brushes from the dollar tree. They look just like the Amazon ones. There are only a few sizes. But they work great and they are a 1 50 here in Canada. 😊 And I love my distress oxide inks. They are so much fun.
I laughed so hard when you dropped the lid on your project. Shows that even the pros can screw up a card - but at least you knew how to fix it as good as new. Enjoyed the video.
Thanks Laurel! Very helpful video. I also appreciate that you left in and showed us how to fix the "oopsie.
Hey Laurel, I've been watching your channel for over a year... Love the honesty on which products work for you and what is not the price... Thank you for sharing your gifts with us!
I love this video. Thank you!
I loved the tutorial. Yours are always so instructive, and light hearted. Loved that you left the OOPSIE in because we all do it. This way you showed us not to throw the background away but how to fix it. Your bullet journals look impressive. I'll be making a journey over to Amazon to check those out. Thanks.
My brushes are a set of cheapies from Amazon. I don't use a journal but my sister does so I purchased two for her. They're lovely!
5 x 9 is a great size!
TFS Laurel!!! You are a ROCKSTAR when it comes to different products to use! Hugs my creative & crafty Friend XOXOXO
Thank u Laurel. I love your soft, kind, GENTLE voice on your videos. When u do teaching videos like this one. u say things in a way that make the viewer feel like they can try it. Thank u 4 leaving the oopies in your videos. They make me feel like I'm not dumb & stupid 4 making a mistake. I just did a card this weekend that I used red ink, but I needed pink ink 4 it. I blended the red ink down 2 pink. That was so fun. I'm addicted 2 it. Have a great, blessed, victorious day.

All great tips!
Love the highlights in your hair. Always happy to see your videos.
The Altenew brush is super for some, but with my minor hand issue/bit of arthritis, it’s uncomfortable and not ergonomic. Blending brushes aren’t good either - my hand hand wants to be more open (and yes, I’ve tried them in all the positions, and will use the ones with very tiny brushes occasionally for picky, tiny stencil spaces). So my go to is still Ranger dome foams (adore!) on their old wooden handle. Distress Oxides are my desert island inks and blend like buttah!
I went to Big Lots and bought the blending brushes from their makeup department, they were so cheap and work great, you buy them as singles but I pick up a couple as I stop there and have several now.
Hi Laurel, watching you on replay. Can’t wait to see your take on ink blending!
Love all your videos! What stencil did you use in the Tips Tricks? LOVE that one!
I love your videos! They're so informative and you're so funny! 🩷 you Laurel! 🙃
Awesome KZread. I sent it to a friend who wants to learn how to ink blend. This is a good start for her. Thank you!

@LaurelBeard I got them in a couple days ago and am so pleased with them. I just might have to get a few more. Can one have too many journals? I think not

Hi Laurel. I bought the Amazon set of brushes when they were labelled as being for makeup. Although they're a bit big for my makeup bag, I liked them so much that I bought another set for ink blending, thinking that they would be good for that as well. I'm actually rubbish at both, but it's not because of the brushes, it's me. Sad but true.😢
Cool. Thanks!
I prefer the mini brushes from Gina K Designs
I have those brushes from Amazon. I love them.

Hello beautiful how are you doing
Thank you!
Very helpful and you saved me from wasting money on a bunch of blender tools that I probably wouldn’t use. Question about the blender brushes: Can you use the same set for both types of ink that you use or do you keep two sets of brushes - one for the Distress Oxides and one for the Catherine Pooler inks?

I use the same brushes for both of my ink brands! The only ones I would say NOT to mix is if you are blending with archival ink.....
