Welcome to the Altenew Mixed Media Ink Blog Hop! You should have arrived from Therese Calvird‘s blog! If you get lost along the way, no worries. Just pop over to the Altenew Card Blog for a complete list of hoppers! The Mixed Media ink works on many surfaces. Fabric, Wood, Plastic, Paper….. I chose to create some custom tea towels using a plain tea towel I already had.
I never used the tea towel because it was plain and boring! I grabbed a stencil and a few colors of the mixed media ink and within 5 minutes, I had tea towels I now proudly display!
I simply placed the stencil over the fabric, used the new blending tool to blend a few colors of ink thru the stencil and directly onto the fabric and voila.
There are lots of gorgeous colors that work perfectly for layering.
Next, hop over to Tania Ahmed and see what she has in store for you! She actually has a class over at the Altenew Academy on these inks that you could get for free!

Wonder how easy this is, stenciling on fabric?
The tea towels are elegant and would make a great gift!
I have just started using stencils, this would be so much fun to try!
Nice.
What a fun gift to make, thank you!
Absolutely genius! Did the ink bleed through to the other side? I’m thinking of Christmas!
What a great idea to use on plain tea towels. Really turned out nicely and will stay that way!
These would make great gifts, even placemats and napkins.
Great idea, so cute!
Oh wow! I love the tea towels and that design!!!!
These inks are so versatile that I wish I could purchase each set as it is released. Your tea towels are beautiful! I love the idea of designing your own unique ones Laurel.
Love the ombré look with the stencils. Nicely done
Wow those turned out so nice. Love this idea!
Ooooh, these look just wonderful! I love useful crafts. I just made a kitchen towel–decorated with Altenew dies.
Laurel. the tea towels look excellent! I love how you used a stencil and more than one ink color to have something totally unique.
Can’t wait to try that. Thanks for sharing your talent!
I was thinking of stamped tea towels…. these would make a great gift! Very pretty!

such a wonderful idea. Truly beautiful.
I have this stencil, I better get busy.
Awesome idea! Posibilites are endless! I love stamping on fabric and hope to see more colors added to this line soon 💕 Thanks for the inspiration Laurel!
This is a great idea. I can see making lots of these for Christmas presents!
Great project! Can’t wait to try the new mixed media inks. I have some “fabric pens” but they smell terrible and the colors aren’t too exciting. Hurray for these new inks!
What a great idea, Laurel! I love these pretty towels! Thanks for sharing this. Now I just need those inks!
These are amazing! I love how well the inks stamped. 🙂
These towels are incredible! So fun to know that you can customize some boring towels into something that matches your home decor!
Love these
Did you try washing them?
Thanks for the amazing inspiration! I absolutely love all the great ideas! Makes me want to pull out my supplies and start playing!
That’s beautiful. I love the cloth napkin idea.
Those tea towels would make lovely gifts!
I am impressed with how the tea towels didn’t absorb all the ink. It would be a great gift for Christmas to be able to match colors and styles for friends….
I can’t believe you decorated these beautiful towels with a stencil and the new media inks. They are beautiful and I agree with other commenters that these would make great gifts. Thanks for the inspiration!
The tea towels are so pretty and I love the rich colors.
Fabulous idea with
the tea towels, so
