Blending Fresh Dye Inks

March 13, 2024

I have been collecting Altnew’s Fresh Dye Inks and now have enough so we can experiment with them and see how the families compare to the Crisp Dye Inks. We will also blend the colors among and between the Fresh Dye Ink families.

We will be blending different color families with Altenew Fresh Dye Inks. Detailed blending brushes will be used in a different way to add interest. The result will be a gorgeous,muliti layered, stenciled floral image for your any-occasion cards.

Supplies:

Build a Garden Blossoming Freesia stamp, dies and stencils

Fresh Dye Inks Wood Warbler Coffee Break, Forest Trails, Natures Wonder and Dried Petals (or whatever inks you have)

If you don’t have all of the Fresh Dye Inks you can substitute:
