I really had to think hard about this one.. so I had a look at the inks I had, and the only Turquoise ink I had was Versa Color Lagoon Blue... it's a fairly true turquoise colour... Ofcourse the colour has distorted a little with the scan.
So I did that technique where you ink a smooth surface with your ink pad and then spay it with water, then press the paper onto it.. I saw this on Isa's blog so did this firstly with the 'lagoon blue' and then added abit of distress ink -walnut stain, until I was happy with the colour...
Other bits I've used are - 'Joyride' stamps by Artistree, K&Co printed paper, Plastic Crown (on the wheel), vintage postage stamp - stamped with Stampin Up date stamp, Maria George Crystals, Black ink & Black Embossing Powder & My sewing machine.
