Home Made Inks
Thanks to Cindy Cade for the original recipe.

Items Needed:
A baby food jar, an old film canister, or eye dropper bottles
Rit POWDERED Dyes-, in various colors **
Rubbing Alcohol

Directions:
Baby Food Jar: Add your entire package of dye to the jar, add alcohol to the top of the jar, replace lid and shake.

Film Canister: Fill canister 1/4 way full of dye, add alcohol to the top, replace the lid and shake.

*You are not limited to the dye colors - mix a few and get new and different colors - just remember to write down how much you mixed, so you can do it again.

**UPDATE**
I prefer to use the LIQUID DYES to make these, instead of the powdered. I and other people found that the powder didn't total dissolve which could lead to mess-ups on your cards.
Mix at a one to one ratio (1/2 container of alcohol and 1/2 dye)
OR 1 part dye to 2 parts alcohol (1/4 container of ink to 3/4 alcohol)

Use this for the Faux Stone Technique
