....Let's get to the great team inspiration this week...we decided to challenge Red Hair because it can be so striking to colour a character in different colour schemes to the normal hair colours we all generally choose. Graph'It have many colours in their range which are not available in other marker ranges and their selection of Reds are amazing! Of course we are right in Christmas Season now for us crafters so make sure you check out the reds and greens which are all lush... you can mix Graph'It with other alcohol markers too so it's a good opportunity to try them in some specific colourways and see how you get on if you are wary of buying into a new brand. You can purchase through Premium Art Brands at the top of the page or one of the selected stockists from the tab at the top.

Before we get to the team inspiration, remember to join our Facebook group too, Graph'It Markers UK, where we have daily inspiration and share some of our favourite makes & hints and tips every day, it's a great place to be!

Oh I used to have a lovely natural red tinge to my hair but now I can only get it from a bottle!  I have used Sprout from Little Miss Muffet and love the rich vibrant tones you can achieve with Graph'It's.
