{"product_id":"ranger-ink-blending-tool","title":"Ink Blending Tool","description":"\u003cp\u003eRound foam applicators transform ink blending from messy finger work into controlled technique. Ranger's solid wood handle positions your hand at the right angle for smooth circular motions, whether you're creating gradient skies across cardstock or feathering color into die-cut edges. The ergonomic design matters during extended sessions, your hand stays relaxed while maintaining pressure control that determines how much ink transfers from pad to surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo foam pads come attached to the tool's dual-ended base. Circular foam surfaces pick up ink evenly and release it gradually, building color intensity through repeated passes rather than dumping pigment all at once. This gradual application creates the smooth transitions that make ink blending work, no harsh lines where colors meet, no patchy coverage where foam skipped across texture. Attach clean foam when switching colors to prevent muddy mixing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tool handles stamping backgrounds, scrapbook layouts, mixed media grounds, and any project where you need ink coverage without paintbrush marks. Foam compresses slightly against raised surfaces like chipboard and canvas, conforming to texture while maintaining consistent contact. Replacement foam packs extend the tool's life indefinitely, swap out saturated pads as colors accumulate or techniques demand fresh surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ranger","offers":[{"title":"each","offer_id":47979430674661,"sku":"45247","price":4.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"replacement foam","offer_id":47979430707429,"sku":"45248","price":4.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0726\/6890\/5701\/files\/s45247.jpg?v=1770302119","url":"https:\/\/www.texasart.mom\/products\/ranger-ink-blending-tool","provider":"Texas Art Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
