Not too long ago, Jennifrann (Jen) uploaded a super card using the tie dye technique and she mentioned that no one else has uploaded to that technique gallery since she did, a whole year ago. I thought I'd remedy that. Here is the tutorial: Tie Dye Background Tutorial
You'll need a coffee filter, a baby wipe and some inks.....that's it!
A little history: tie dye has been around since 500-810 AD in Peru. Many countries, like Africa, Japan and China, have used tie dye for fabric. Tie dying was known in the US by 1909 when Professor Charles E. Pellow of Columbia University acquired some samples of tie-dyed muslin and gave a lecture and demonstration. Up until the late 1960's, it was simply called tying and dying. Janis Joplin and other entertainers are credited with the 1960's-1970's fad.
Don't forget to upload your card to the technique gallery also.

I'm not sure Jayne because using baby wipes which are wet on paper towel...but I would say give it a try, Iwas thinking also about paper we find in our shoe boxes, or maybe baking paper...

I have been thinking about alternatives, Jayne. It would have to be sturdy but fairly thin and able to be crumpled and handle a little wetness. Maybe you could use a dauber to apply the ink first and then just use a little of the baby wipe to make it bleed. Maybe a heavier tissue paper? I meant to experiment, maybe I'll go down to my dungeon and give a few things a try.

That looks like such a fun technique. I only have the brown filters. I will have to see if maybe my distress oxides would work better with this technique on them. I'm definitely trying this tonight after work.
If you drink tea instead of coffee you may be able to recycle your rinsed and dried tea bags. You could make up a few and then combine them to make the size you want.
There are many things that tea drinkers have done with recycled tea bags. And you can buy empty tea bags on Amazon to make your own tea or use for crafting. ;)
I have done this technique with re-inkers in the past. This time I used some new to me ColoriQue paints. They didn't bleed as much as I thought they would.. I started with a pre-colored coffee filter. Thanks, Jean. TLC833 Tie Dye & Stitch by ArtzadoniStudio at Splitcoaststampers by Lori "Artzadoni"
