Check Please! These espresso coffee stained guest checks are made of a very light card stock that feels wonderful & they smell even better. After dyeing them I stamp coffee cup rings on them using acid free, permanent, waterproof ink so that they can be used with any water based and/or alcohol based medium. These papers can be used with watercolors, acrylics, distress ink sprays, distress oxide sprays, wet glue, alcohol ink sprays etc., the coffee ring stamp will not distort or bleed.

ABOUT OUR TEA & COFFEE DYES All of our tea dyes are made from actual herbs, flowers, vegetables & ground coffee bean steeped teas with no added coloring agents. The dyed papers are then completely air dried (to prevent them from getting brittle) on bamboo, straw mats & stencils or flat, then gently pressed. I use a series of different techniques to ensure that each & every one of my tea dyed papers is unique such as crumple drying, stencil drying, etc. These papers are dyed using repurposed espresso coffee grinds & fresh, purple cabbage. No food is wasted in the dye making process. No coloring agents are added. I use espresso coffee because of the creamy vanilla browns it produces & the warm, subtle coffee scent as opposed to the orangish color & strong acidic smell that results from instant coffee. It's just a matter of preference. We do our best to select a good mix of the different variations for each packet, please keep in mind that shades vary from batch to batch. PLEASE NOTE The photos provided are a representation of papers we make & may not be the exact paper you receive.. Tea & coffee dyed papers are not acid free because of the various acids that are present in the plants used in the tea dying process. If this is particularly concerning to you, you can spray a matte fixative on the surface to mitigate any effect the acid may have over time on writing etc. There is a very slight shrinkage by the end of the process.
