Here are our fabulous DT’s creations …

Simonne ... The Graph'it Marker blender pen is perfect for adding patterns and textures to your colouring. I decided to use this really cute Sew and Sew digital stamp, illustrated by Emma Canning for Polkadoodles, for my card.  I created a polka dot pattern on the pink piece of fabric she is sewing in her machine by using the bullet nib of my blender pen to bleach out little dots of colour:

Hair: 3250 3245 3210 4110  Skirt: 8220
Pink Fabric: 5230 5130 5120 blender
Sewing Machine: 4110
Shading: 9503 9500 blender

Cara ...This was another "challenging" theme for me but once I had decided which pattern to go for I really enjoyed it and the fabulous Graph'it Blender pen worked so well I might actually try more patterns with it now.  I decided to go for a Plaid pattern, I coloured the whole of the pyjamas in my main pink colour and then "drew" in stripes in both directions with the blender, finally I outlined everything with a fine liner.  Hope you like it!

Graph'it Marker's used:
Skin: 4180, 4155, 4150,4135
Pink: 5230,5210,5120, Blender

Debbie ... The Challenge for me with this card was to actually take a decent photo of it (so I apologize now for the rather dull photo). I decided to try a check pattern in my cute Little Mouse's Dungarees by colouring with the pink pen then drawing the check pattern on with the blender pen which then gives you a subtle check pattern.

Mouse: 9303, 9305,9507,4145

Kevin What a great time I have had this week colouring up this image, and I have used my blender to pen to make the polka dot dress and umbrella, the blender is perfect for this as it moves the colour away, so you end up with white dots, why don't you give it a try.

Fur 9501..1210..5110

Pinks 5115..5120..5150..5160
