The other night I was playing with the ink refills & working on projects to get the most out of the refills. I cam up with the idea of using the ink refills as dyes. Using the paper daisies from the Stampin' Up catalogue.
To dye the flowers It only takes a single drop of the ink refill, dropped into something like a plastic pringle tub lid & then spray the ink with water to disperse & dilute it.
I tried a couple of different ways with these flowers the first I put the dry flower into the dye & moved it around until it had been completely covered. The second flower I spritzed lightly with water before putting it in the dye & that achieved a slightly more tye dyed effect.
If you want to use the flowers immediately then you can dry them with a hairdryer or a heat tool, being careful not to melt the pringle lid like I did.
