Thanks so much for the brilliant challenge Dina - coffee!!!
I used an 8" square lid from a container. I added 3 tablespoons of coffee and about 5 tablespoons of boiling water. Stir and let it cool.
After my blue/black hair phase in my twenties, I moved on to my red Henna phase. It wasn't the authentic henna it was just heaps and heaps of very strong coffee. Ahhh the good old days.
The reason I mention this is because the girl tag was coloured in earlier this week using Prismacolour pencils, but I mucked up her hair (orange red). This coffee challenge was the perfect solution. In real life her hair looks streaked and very shiny! I would have paid serious money for that colour in my day LOL.
The butterfly tag was made by dunking the tag into the coffee. The butterfly was lightly painted with various strengths of coffee.
I found a foam stick called "Fantastix" in the bottom of my tool kit - I have no clue as to why I bought it but it was great for randomly adding coffee spots.
I am still away with my limited supplies so this challenge was perfect!! Thank you for looking.

Wow, gorgeous hair on that girl - wish mine was that color. Maybe I should try your trick - but I bet it doesn't turn gray hair red, LOL!
The butterfly is amazing - I can't believe all the different hues you achieved. Awesome!

Love everything about these creations - especially the dots you made with a tool from the bottom of your tool chest that you had no idea why you bought it! So fun. So fun thinking of you with various colors of hair too. Adventurous girl! Hugz
