Hello and Welcome
Trying something new out today. I think it's so fun to play with a new technique and I wanted to show you how easy it and I could use the inks I already have on hand. I read the tutorial over at Splitcoast Stampers but decided to take some pics so you could see how I did it.
So here's what I did.
I began with a plain, white coffee filter from the Dollar Store.
I scrunched it all up into a ball creating lots of creases and folds.
I opened the filter up, sprayed with water and gathered it together from the center out....sort of like holding a fan shape.
After I was happy with the inking, I opened the filter up and flattened it out to reveal this.
*when you open it up if there isn't enough inking on spots, just refold and ink again*

So when the inked filter was all nice and dry, I glued it onto a piece of heavy cardstock, folding over the edges and gluing them around the back.
Use a glue stick to adhere as the liquid glue will most likely make a mess.
I placed the piece into my Misti and stamped the sentiment using some Versafine black ink.

I die-cut the flowers and glued them over the bkg.
I mounted it all onto a heavy white card base.

Wow, what a great idea. The end result is beautiful. Thanks for sharing this technique.
What a clever technique Karen and the finished result is so bright and pretty, and love the contrast of the black inked sentiment with the white die cut flowers. Gorgeous! x

Wow Karen such a great technique. Love the effect and need to get my coffee filter out :)

Clever technique, thank you for sharing the idea and your stunning card, hugs, Lori m
Ww, Karen, very clever, don’t drink coffee and not sure what coffee filets are but reckon it would work with scrunched up tissue paper come to think of it have done it that way a few years ago now in 2018!
Well done, a circle gives tie-dye affect... all way back from 1970s!!
Thanks for being a blessing, and may God bless you too.
Hugs, Shaz in Oz.x 😊

What an interesting technique, Karen - love your results! Shades of tie-die!
OH MY GOODNESS! I love that you did this with a coffee filter. Back in 2000, we did this with paper towels, reinkers and glue (believe it or not), and the result was fantastic. But the coffee filters have a much better texture for this technique, and your results are beautiful, Karen, with the "round" filter compared to the square towels. THANK YOU SO MUCH for the tutorial! BTW, your sparkling card looks amazing! hugs, de
Karen this is such a fun technique, and you've aced it, my friend! What a trip back in time this is … lookin' so groovy!

Thank you Karen for sharing your photos for your tie dyed coffee filter. Your card is so beautiful and artsy. Loved your color choices and die cut flowers and sentiment too. Hugs..Nancy
Beautiful background for your garden beauties. I love the colors.
This is incredibly unique and I would NEVER have guessed how you created it had you not shared it with us. What a lovely way to Go Green and recycle at Try it on Tuesday.
Totally stunning design Karen, I love the colours and those delicate die cut flowers. What a super technique, thank you for the photos of how to do, Kate x
Thank you for the fun technique Karen and another one for my to do list. I so enjoy learning new techniques. The background filter looks like it is radiating out and has produced a stunning effect. Fabulous card and love the delicate die cut flowers too x.
Fabulous effect, Karen. It's a bit 'tie die-ish', for want of a better adjective, lol. I love the way it turned out! I may just have to try this one out myself.
Thank you so much for linking to Try it on Tuesday's Go Green challenge.

Sorry :-( I really must learn to read things properly before I comment - you even called it a Tie Dye technique. I love the dies you used with this - it looks amazing.
