Easter Egg Dyeing

Getting ready for Easter and thought I would try to use our stampin up! ink refills to dye our Easter eggs.  All you need is 3Tbls of vinegar and 1/2 cup of water and 5 drops of the ink color of your choice.  I used Coastal Cobana, Old Olive and Baked Brown sugar

Put your eggs in your dye for about 2 minutes.  Take out and let dry.  Now to get the speckled eggs you will use our exclusive Stampin Spritzer (see below)  I used Soft Suede ink for the speckles.

I love how they look like natural eggs!

The one below is made by stamping polka dots first with our stampin classic ink pads and sponge daubers that create the polka dots,  then put it into the dye for 2 mins. 

Love this look too!

Here is what the spritzer looks like....
