A colourful Friday

Good afternoon and thanks for joining me, and oh my goodness we have another new follower...I am jumping up and down with excitement..

Today I wanted to share some more colours of ink with you...if you remember last week we took a look at the new Artistry ink pads....

A dye based ink pad...very juicy, very versatile and a real must have...

Now those of you who are regulars on here will know that I love autumn colours....and use those colour tones so much....

So I thought we could look at the equivalent colours in the Artistry ink pads...

I made myself a swatch of the Distress ink colours that I normally use and then added some similar Artistry inks , and chose the nearest match...

And this is what I came up with

Mustard Seed - Golden Turmeric

Spiced Marmalade - Orange Popsicle

Abandoned Coral - Blushing Rose

Candied Apple - Blaze

I also needed a good brown.- Burnt Umber.

And there is the most wonderful deep burgundy colour - Fine Wine, I have used this so much.

I also repeated it with blues and greens,

I found it a great way to help me decide on which of the large ink pads to buy first...

I do hope it helps you too...

Do let me know what you think

Here is a quick and simple card made using the Artistry ink pads...

In fact we are using them tomorrow in our Clarity Glasgow workshop...I do love coming up here...

At the moment I am sat in our hotel room with a lovely cup of coffee...

I must just tell you something that happened today...

And I hope it makes you smile...( it did me...eventually )

Karl and me set off early this morning, we had a decent journey up and Karl had an appointment in Edinburgh.

So whilst he went into the lab, I sat in the car, Groovi at hand to get on with some samples

Now as he walked off, I heard the doors , click....as the central locking , locked them...

Oh no....I looked for the keys....yes he had them

I reached for my phone, only to notice that he had left his in the car with me...

I tried to unlock the doors, and all that happened was the car alarm went off.....

Well, not only did I feel a fool, but I was worried that the alarm would flatten the battery.

So , I sat still, motionless for 40 minutes , getting hotter and hotter....

Karl eventually came back to the car, ( thank goodness)

He said my face was a picture!!!!!!! And not a good one...

Good job we can laugh.....

But it will cost him...lol...

So we are off now for dinner....

Enjoy your evening and pop back soon

Much love and hugs
