Tie dye

 We had our zoom meeting once again through my stamp group and we used coffee filters with inks to make a tie dye look.  We crunched up the filter so it was in a straight line and then added three different inks to it using a baby wipe, you want to use dye ink pads. When you are done adding the inks, you unfold it and it gives you this tie dye look.  We glued that onto cardstock then cut it up and use parts on the strip at the top and the base.


We were to add some stamped images to the top and I had these flowers already stamped and added some punched leaves to go with them. You fold down the top flap and glue it to the base after added your ribbon or floss as I used.


  • Coffee Filters, scrunched adding distress inks with baby wipe
  • Gemini - Perfect Posy stamps and dies
  • Martha Stewart - leaf punch
  • Floss
  • Hero Arts - Fabulous birthday sentiment stamp
  • Hot off the press - Life Happens sentiment for inside
The insert comes out of the pocket to reveal the inside sentiment.


Hope your week is off to a great start, thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today,

Connie
