Easy Watercolor Effects With Dye Inks

Today I’m sharing an easy way to create a watercolor background using dye inks. I’ll be using the background to create an elegant Easter card that features the Essentials By Ellen Elegant Eggs hot foil set and Essential Eggs die set.

For this technique, I’ll be using Catherine Pooler inks, which are a water reactive dye ink and work well for this technique. You can try this technique with any dye inks you may have. Distress Inks will also work great for this technique.

Be sure to check out today’s video tutorial. I’ll share how I created this card and give you some tips and tricks along the way.

XOXO
