I'm back! A new card for the Graph'it Markers Challenge - Denim

Hello Everyone! I am back! That was a very long couple of weeks...I can't believe I haven't posted on my blog since the 10th of January. Needless to say, it took me a lot longer than expected to recover from my hand operation. I am truly on the mend now and am slowly getting back into crafting again. My card today is my first attempt at colouring again so please be gentle with me. I am not 100% happy with my card today but I have to start somewhere. The card I am sharing below if for the Graph'it Marker Colouring Challenge. Our theme this fortnight is 'Denim'.

I have used a fabulous image from the Dollie Daydream Polkadoodles CD on my card. I love her outfit and her hair is amazing! I used Echo Park papers from an older pad and a Paper Smooches sentiment from the 'Scripty Sayings' set.

I added some Dutch Doobadoo die cut embellishments, including the Laser Art A5 Butterflies, Laser Art A5 Swirls and a Kraft Star which I topped with a vintage button.I also added some Ribbon Girl flowers and ribbon and some stick on pearls.

Here are the pens I used for my colouring. I used the Glitter Shake it pen to give her some fun glittery trainers. I hope you will be able to join us for our Challenge for the chance to win a Graph'it colouring DVD. Have a lovely Friday!

A Bue and Yellow Robotastic card for the Graph'it Marker colouring Challenge

Hello Everyone! I hope you are well. It's time for a brand new Challenge on the Graph'it Marker colouring challenge blog and our colour theme this week is Springtime inspired with fresh blues and yellows. I have made a card using some scraps by My Mind's Eye and Fancy Pants and a fabulous stamp set by the Alley Way which is available here.

Colours used: 7260,7240, 7220, 7210, 1210, 1280, 1140, 1110

I coloured the image using my favourite blues  and used soft yellows which compliment them so well. I kept my layout simple and added a sentiment from the set and some gorgeous ribbon from The Ribbon Girl and finished with some brads, a button and a pearl from my stash. I hope you will be able to join us for our Challenge for the chance to win some lovely Graph'it goodies! This will be my last post for a while as I am going in today to have a small operation on my hand to remove a troublesome lump so I will be taking an enforced break from crafting and blogging for a couple of weeks. Have a lovely Friday!

Graph'it Markers DT for the Graph'it Challenge - Happy New Colour!

 Hello Everyone! I hope you had  a lovely Christmas Day and Boxing Day. My blog has been rather neglected lately as I was running behind with my Christmas preparations but I hope normal service will be restored soon! It's time for a brand new Challenge on the Graph'it Marker Challenge blog today. Our theme this week is 'Happy New Colour' we are challenging you to use a new colour!I chose Yellow as my colour I wouldn't normally use to create a lovely golden coat for the lovely Labradors on my card.

I rarely use yellows but  I love the rich gold you can create with the Graph'it markers. I will be sure to use this colour combination again for hair and animals.  I used just three colours to colour in the dogs: 1250, 3110 and 3140. The images are from Little Miss Muffet and the sentiment is a Paper Smooches one

Make sure you check out the Challenge blog for lots of fabulous inspiration from the DT!

Have a lovely Friday!

Making Backgrounds for the Graph'it Marker Challenge

Hello Everyone! It's time for a brand new Challenge today on the Graph'it Marker Challenge blog. The theme for the team this week was to make backgrounds using Mix it Fluid. This was so much fun! I used 4 different shades of Graph'it Markers to create a snowy sky background for my cute little Polkadoodles snowman. I used the broad nib to draw wide stripes which I blended together and then sprayed with the mix it fluid to create a mottled effect. I then added dots for the snow using the glitter Shake it embossing pen

Graph'it Markers used:

Sky: 7260,7240,7220,7210

Red: 5245, 5220, 5210

Green: 8270, 8260, 8220

Snow: Shake it glitter embossing pen

I hope you will be able to join us for this Challenge! Have a lovely Friday!

I added a Paper Smooches sentiment and tons of pretty flowers from my stash.

A cute littleHalloween Pumpkin

 Hello Everyone! I have another card to share with you today which I made this Weekend to enter into the Graph'it Challenge. The theme is Halloween so this cute Lil Dumpling Jack from Pollycraft was just perfect and was so much fun to colour in. I coloured him in shades of Orange and Black and Grey to match the My Mind's Eye 'Happy Hauntings' papers I used.

I die cut the centre panel using Spellbinders dies and added a little sewing around the edges. The sentiment I used is by Melissa Frances and I added a little spotty button from The Ribbon Girl and a wooden star from my stash alongside a brad I have had for years (I am trying to use some up as I have pots full of them!)

Here is a close up of cute little Jack. He actually reminds me a bit of my Jack who is really not so little anymore! I hope you have a lovely Wednesday!
