GOLD GOLF and 3 GORGEOUS INK COLOURS – a simple stencil step-by-step.
Thanks for popping in!
Tuesday’s the day we take a look at colour blends
and the new ink pads from India.
Every Tuesday, I showcase a selection of the new inks
and then promote them at a special price.
This price is valid until the next Tuesday.
We LOVE these colours!
So today I have used 3 very lovely colours together:
Cotton Candy
Ocean Reef
and
Morning Dew
Easy little project to celebrate the Gold Golf Medal
that Justin Rose secured for Britain on Sunday.
First time since 1904!
Have you seen our XL Sport framer stamp?
Comes with a load of little sportsmen.
Great for a male card.
Anyway, back to the colours.
Again, in keeping with Rio and that summery tropical flavour,
I thought I’d go for teal, pinks and blues.
Attach the Circle Box Frame stencil
to a piece of 7″ x 7″ stencil card.
block out the centre with a Post-it.
Using Clarity Brushes,
brush the Cotton Candy pink into the top,
and the Ocean Reef blue into the lower area.
Go back in with make-up sponges
to deepen the colours in certain rings.
Trim back, mat and layer on black.
So if you decide to add these three lovelies to your collection,
they’re £4.50 each, or £4.00 if you get all 3.
CLICK HERE FOR THE OFFER
Got to go.
I’m on the turn.
If I don’t eat something soon,
I shall start eating these ink pads!
Love & Hugs,
Barb

Great blog – love the colours. Thank you to all the humourous bloggers last night, they should be at the Edinburgh festival. Still only using one hand and arm! I'm sure someone will make a wise crack again. It really cheered me up last evening.
Love to you all
Anne (Reading)p.s. Ink pads are not very nice to eat, Barbara. My 3yr old grandson tried that – it took an awful lot to get him clean!
Hope you can get your hand in soon Anne. As for the grandson – I hope you used copy paper for the mopping up to save for backgrounds!
Hi Anne heee, heee, no arm done! Keep smiling. Xx 😁
Evening Anne on no grandson eating the inks yukie clean up .you rest up hugs xxx
Good one Donna xxx
Was it all armless fun Anne? That was hand-y. (Sorry!). Whoops, did you take a photo of your inky grandson before you started to clean him up? Would have made a great scrapbook page. Hopefully it was washable ink not black archival. Xx
At least I didn't make jokes single handed tonight!😋. Xx
Oh I love that colour combination! I'll be using that one myself!!!
Great card by the way! That stencil is perfect!
Those inks are fantastic! I've had a proper play with them this week and they just do everything I ask of them!
Hope you have a good meal and rest tonight ready for the next round of retreaters tomorrow.
Love and hugs! Xxx

Hi Barb,
Lovely colours and a great card. Love the sports framer – great for pesky male cards. Going to have a look at the ink pads at Leyburn ( if you've got any left that is!) but thank you for the great offer. Love Alison xx
Hi to my bloggy friends,
Hope you've all had a good day. Brenda I'm waiting to hear which event you've been doing today. Morag hope you're ok. Had a much better day today. At least I did get some sleep last night. The only problem is that my cold has gone onto my chest now which for an asthmatic is not very good – it will be out with the Benylin tonight I think. Dave rode my bike up to school this morning and I met him there. Did about 1 and 1/2 miles round the fields and managed to stay on although did near have a problem when I stopped!! Not ready for the roads yet, still not confident enough, but if we go up to school every day for rest of holidays, I should be ok. The bike is definitely bigger than my old one! This afternoon we went to Seal Sannds for a walk and had a laugh at all of the seals sunbathing and jumping out of the water. So all in all a good day. Love and hugs to you all, Alison xxx
Hello Alison. I have asthmas too and a cold is fatal I always have a chesty cough for several weeks so I can sympathise. Glad you were able to get out and keep the lungs working xx
That doesn't sound good, keep your pump handy. Glad you managed a bike ride, I think you did amazingly well doing as much as you did! Well done. Xx
Evening Alison wow you did well getting on the bike today with your chest cold and asthma glad you have had a better day get well hugs xxx
Gosh Alison – you have done so well today! Neill suffers from asthma and at the moment he just can't shift it from his chest – he is on his 2nd dose of antibiotics, and this is the summer! Anyway, you take care and don't overdo it. Love and hugs Gilly xxx
Hi Alison I know what you mean about asthma and a cold, not good is it. Wow you did so well going on the bike and going round the field so many times. Keep this up and we will see you in the Olympics next time😀Xx
Thanks everyone. xxx
I have some of these new ink pads but I haven't used them yet. I'm still working my way through all the washing and ironing after my holidays. I'll need to get thinking about the challenges otherwise I'll run out of time.
Good luck with the washing, hope you manage to get it cleared up soon so you can craft. Xx
Evening julia enjoy making your challenges the months are passing so quick I've been doing my September calendar challenge a little bit each day hugs xxx
Hi Julia – good luck with the washing, worst part of the holiday! Take care – love and hugs Gilly xx
You feel like you need another holiday by the time you've finished the washing and ironing don't you xxx
The ink pads look lovely. Like Alison I am waiting until I can see them so I can get different colours to the distress ones. Not long now xx
Hello all. Love to everyone. I have been very busy over the last few days as we were out most of Sunday and out again yesterday evening and we go away tomorrow for 10 days.

Hi to all of my blog friends – I hope that you have all enjoyed some good weather, another fantastic day here in Cornwall!

Lovely day here too and yesterday. It's good to get some jobs done and slowly but surely is good! Reminds me I have ironing to do! Keep resting xx
Hi Barbara
What a fantastic card, a great way to celebrate our golfing success, he's from Hampshire so no doubt he will be on our local news when he's home again. It's lovely watching the various events isn't it. Hope the retreats are going well and you are having fun. Love these inks, very tempted but I've got similar colours in distress pads so I will see what comes up next week ( or will give in to temptation 😀). Enjoy your meal.
Love Diane xxxx
Hello my lovely blog friends, hope all is well. It's been very warm here again today. Had a lovely lunch out with my daughter and a bit of shopping so a treat day. Must get some cards made tomorrow there's a few September birthdays that will sneak up on me. Sending hugs xxx
Pleased you had a lovley day out with your daughter yes September will soon be here my mobile hairdresser book me in yesterday for 4 weeks time which is September 12 my granddaughters 18 and I'm 60 on the15 September thought wow only 4 weeks to mid September good job I've got my granddaughters groovi card made but now I've got to make her card for to put her money in panicking now 🙃😊
What a fabulous colour combination Barbara and the sporty stamps work really well and the background stencil echoes the circle in the sport stamp too. Hope you had a lovely dinner and feeling ready for your next retreat. x
Hi Barbara, that stencil is just perfect for the Olympics. I've got the wee men and their balls!!!! Balls are very useful, for backgrounds and borders. I love this colour combo too, never thought to add a pale green over blue to make teal, so I've learned something good. Thank you. Please don't be giving Daisy any ideas about eating ink pads, it's bad enough that she wants to paw paint with them!!!!
Today it was the Pompom Shotput. The world record is Daisy's scratch post. You get the look of disgust if you don't clear the speakers. And the turn and walk away, embarrased disownment if you don't clear the doorway. Wonder how I know that!!!!!!
It'unreal how successful oor wee nation is doing in the Olympics, never seen anything like it. We should be very thankful for the lottery funding. And folk thoughtbour 48 medal target was very ambitious. Oh ye of little faith springs to mind!!!! I love the chinese/japanese person who translates at the medal ceremony, sounds like a Billy Connolly routine!!!! They have some weird races in the velodrome eh. I've never understoodnthe derny bike! Big boys with their toys! I see guys eyes light up whenever I mention I'll need to charge up the batteries for the hedge trimmer for them to tidy up the bushes at the other side of the fence (the council should maintain it, but never do)
Love Brenda xx
Sorry for all the typos, CFS is my excuse today!
You deserve a gold for your imagination xx
I think the derny bike rider was after a medal tonight ! What event will you be taking up tomorrow?! X
Pom pom shot put sounds fun, what size pom pom do you use though? Hope Daisy scores you higher in tomorrows event. Xx
Your wonderful Brenda just thinking of daisy with her paint paw prints 😊🙃 xxx
Glad the nurse went well today. Xx
Lovely colours here and great for a mans card too. I don't think I have these stamps so might have to purchase …. I'll check first though ! Xx
Hello Barb, a superb card, love the 3 colours, great combination. Hope you had your dinner and did not end up eating the ink pads. Take care. Bx
Great card, love these stamps
