Cards and Easter Egg Dyes

After my kids finished dyeing Easter eggs, I looked at the all the cups and thought --- what could I do with them. So, I thought about using them as misters, but I didn't have any spray bottles (note to self - get spray bottles). Then I thought about using them like a wash.

So, I grabbed a napkin, and then used the napkin to put the dye on cardstock. It came off as a watercolor type of technique and I really liked how it turned out. Here's some cards that I made using this technique.




I used the Knowledgeable Pixie stamp for the top card and the QKD Get Inked kit for the bottom card. If you are not on the list for the kit, then get on it!!! This is a fabulous kit!!

Now, here's my card:



I used a fun new technique of inking my paper and then crumbled the paper before adding it to the card base. I wanted to create a look that mimicked the appearance of books stacked. Thanks for looking; now make sure you check out Wynneth's and Loretta's blogs to see their fabulous creations!
