Sun Ray Ink Blending with Laura Bassen
Hi readers! Happy Tuesday! Please give our special guest Laura Bassen a big Simon welcome back to our store blog today! The Queen of ink blending has done it again! I think I’m especially partial to this card as it contains some of my very favorite colors! Laura worked her way from Spring Rain to Lucky to Scuba to High Dive to Blue Jay to the emphasis HOT MAMA! (<- hopefully you sang along with me there). The focal point is the gorgeous Mosaic Heart die from our newest collection, Among the Stars! Be sure to watch the video and enjoy!

All those yummy inks Laura! You must be in heaven. Great card and what a super design to use with different dies in the center. We need lockable toolboxes! I sooo dislike finding my gear in hubby’s stuff after I’ve panicked for days thinking I’ve accidently thrown out something.
Laura, this is awesome as always! Love those rays!
Great card and I love all those colors you choose too, great choice!
As always, Laura entertains and inspires! Her unlimited creativity is amazing, as is this card with the fabulous rays and heart! Gorgeous! Thank you…

Laura, thank you so much for sharing the blending method … love the card !
Another gorgeous card from Laura Bassen! Love it. I wish I knew more about hybrid inks. Are the Opaque or transparent, how long do they take to dry, those kinds of things. Did I miss a post somewhere along the way?

Great card Laura!! Always LOVE your videos:)
Laura, great cards as always! Love the color combo, so pretty! The new banners dies are definitely on my wish list. Thanks for sharing and inspiring.
Laura’s card turned out great. She makes it look so simple and easy when I know it is not. I love how the elevated front ended up in line with the background. Also, I’m convinced now that I need that banner die cut.
Absolutely gorgeous card. And the video so so much fun! It would be fun to use this technique to make sets of cards in all different combinations of colors!
To the queen of ink blending – AWESOME. What a gorgeous card. Love it Laura.
Beautiful design. Love this card! Gorgeous colors ♥
