Wk 5 Graph'It colouring challenge....Anything Goes/Different Coloured hair

Woohoo It's Challenge Day!! Any excuse for a spell of colouring!
We also have some exciting news for you as we have two new team members joining us this week! Yay! Welcome to Anjie and Zoe - we love their makes and know they'll both add an extra dimension to our lovely team, they've settled in already and it feels like they've been with us for years already!

Firstly, we have to remind you that there is another Graph'It show on 7th Feb with Nikky on Create and Craft - you can tune in on sky 671, Freeview 36 or online at www.createandcraft.tv when it's live on air and after the show. There are NEW things on the show which we think a lot of you will need so make sure you check it out!

We also have to mention that Nikky has started to do some Google Hangouts where she shows a variety of crafty stuff including Graph'Its of course! Watch out on Facebook/Twitter for the times and links but this will be regular and it's like having a LIVE class on air! Wahey! If you miss them you can also catchup on YouTube via Nikky's channel which is here....

So onto this week's challenge - of course as always it's

ANYTHING GOES

but we've also challenged the team to go with some

DIFFERENT COLOURED HAIR 

this week. They're not allowed to use the standard colours!

The winner of this week's challenge will receive some great Graph'It stash - remember 

you DO NOT HAVE TO USE Graph'It markers to enter the challenge! You have until Sunday 9th Feb to enter the challenge! 

Let's see what the team have for us - you can see last week's winners at the end of the post!....

Anjie- I'm very excited to have been asked to be a part of this very talented team, thank you all so much for having me. Here is my first project.

Well of course I chose my favourite colour, (my own hair was this colour last year) and I'm quite please with the result. The image is from the lush Dollie Daydream Girl Talk CD Collection, as are the papers and the build a fleur. The border and heart stamps, lace, button and ribbon are from my stash.

The colours of the Graph'It Markers I have used are:

Skin: 4115, 4155, 4170 & 4175

Hair: 7140, 7145, 7150, 7155 & 7160

Dress & Shoes: 5110, 5115 & 5120

Zoe - Well this is my first official DT project for the challenge blog! I'm so excited to be here and can't wait to share my projects will you all. So the DT have been challenged to do coloured hair. Now this happens to be something I love, not only when colouring images, but also I enjoy colouring my own hair random colours! For this project I used the gorgeous Dollie Daydream Collection...

The Graph It markers I used are-

Skin = 4115, 4120, 4150, 4170 + 5140 & 6110 for shadows.

Susan First of all Welcome Anjie & Zoe, so glade you have joined us and I'm not the newbie anymore. Coloured Hair this is so cool because if I was younger I think I would have blue hair .

The image that I've used   is from the amazing New CD Dollie Daydreams Goes East....

These are the Graph'it Markers I have used

Skin =4115 ,4120 ,4155 ,4170 ,4135 for blush
