Two Tees, Please!



Indigoblu Challenge June 2016 

Teal and Brown


My submission for this month's Indigoblu Challenge 'Brown and Teal/Teal and Brown' has taken me down a different route as the British Open Golf is to be played in Troon soon, and Troon is a town I know well as I went to school, Marr College, there. As a student many moons ago, I also worked in the Marine Hotel during an Open Golf Tournament so this is also a reflective creation. I used Fairway to Heaven, Ledger Background, Boadicea, Holly A6 and Bubbles Background and stamped with StazOn Teal Blue and Ganache as well as  Distress Inks Tea Dye, Vintage Photo, Walnut Stain, Peacock Feathers and Mermaid Lagoon. The varnished tees were sanded then Tea Dye (very appropriate!!!) and Teal Blue blended lightly over; the pencil was also coloured with the StazOn inks to complete. 

This was great fun to make and I hope it has given you some ideas. 

Thanks for visiting,

    1. It was good to make something for the boys for a change as I'm usually stumped when faced with such a challenge, however this one flowed nicely. Thanks for taking the time to comment, much appreciated. ;~}
