Let's head over to the team and see what goodies they have for us today: 

Susan -I have made an easel card this week for a change and gone a bit OTT .I wanted something Rich and Lush and that's what I got

The image is coloured with my amazing Graph'It markers - if you haven't tried them yet, take a tip from me, give them a go you wont be disappointed. Don't forget to try some Ultimate Graphic 160 gsm card too, Nikky's favourite for colouring, it works hand in hand with the GI's to give you that smooth blend.

These are the GI's I have used

Skin 4115 ,4155 ,4145

Hair 3210 ,3250 ,3255

Dress 5160 ,5245 ,5255 ,3140

Under Skirt 9400 ,9401,9402 ,9403

Gold Shake pen and White Shake pen

Claire C  Fancy frills was a good excuse to make a really girly card so I printed this lovely image out on Ultimate Graphic 160gsm card and coloured her with my Graph'It markers before going to town with lots of embellies and making some frills from lace and ribbon...

Colours used: Hair 3155, 3145, 1230,1210

Skin 4180, 4155, 4115, 4125 (blush 4135, 5115)

Pinks: 5135, 5124, 5115, 5110

Anjie - I have printed one of the papers from the Studio 12 CD-rom Picknix Collection 1 onto some card and made a box. I then printed the cupcake image from the same CD  onto some Ultimate Graphic 160gsm paper and coloured it with Graph'It Markers. I then cut some die cuts and stamped the sentiment and Butterfly from a Premium Crafts Brands stamp set. I used a Graph'It MIX'IT Palette and a blender pen to give the butterfly a water coloured look. I coloured the edges of all the die cuts with  Graph'It Markers.

The  Graph'It Markers I used were:

7240, 7220, 7210,
5120, 5115, 5110

Claire Boelema: I interpreted the theme slightly differently to my teamies. I decided my Frilly and Fancy would be the frilly, flouncy dress the image is wearing. I added a bit of lace,ribbon and glitter to add to the theme. I printed the image onto Ultimate Graphic Paper and coloured it with Graph'It markers. I added some pops of sparkle to the dress using the Silver Shake'It pen, which I dabbed at with my finger to give a more subtle shimmer.

Skin: 4110, 4115, 4120, 4145

Hair: 9100, 9501, 9504, 9506, 9909

Other Colours: 5220, 6110, 6175, 6190, 0000

Shake'It Silver Glitter Pen

Hazel Brown - Guest Designer....All of my colouring is done with Graph It markers with the exception of the green shades.

Kym....It is Kym here and I am delighted to appear here as Guest Designer for a couple of Graph’it challenges as I love my Graph’it pens. As soon as I saw this topic I wanted to do a summery theme. 

I have used my Polkadoodles Fredericka CD for the image and the backing papers. My colour scheme was mainly pink and brown/craft with a touch of yellow and orange thrown in. The Graph’it pen colours I have used are:

Skin - 4125, 4150, 4170, 5110 and 5120
Dress - 5120, 5110 and 5140
Flowers/Basket - 1150, 1170, 2110, 3210, 8150, 8280 and 8240

Zoe - Well this was a challenge as these are not colours I tend to use, and I found I only have one orange in my collection. But worry not - I used my warm browns! So the girl is from Candy Doodles Collection from Polkadoodles. I layered the image on a mix of orange and yellow card, adding a couple of brads and some washi tape.

The Graph It's I used are - 

Skin = 4120, 4115, 4155, 3120 & 4135

Hair = 3120, 3125, 3150, 3170 & 3190

Yellows = 1130, 1150 & 2120

Oranges = 1250, 2170, 3130 & 3170

Background = Neutral greys

Cara....I loved this challenge, it's not very often I use Orange or Yellow in my designs so this was a lovely change and i'm sure I will be using it more often, the oranges in the GI range are so rich I love them. I used this amazing image from the Dollie Daydream Goes East CDrom, the papers, sentiment and even the shaped card template came from there too!

Graph'its used:
Skin: 3120, 4155, 4150, 4115, 4135

Deep orange: 2160, 2170, 2180
Lighter orange: 2110, 2120, 2140

Skin. 4120..4135..4155..4170

Hair.1180..1210..1250..1280

Cara
This week I decided to make a bottle tag using the fab template from the Doobadoo range (you can use the same template to make a door hanger too) I also used the laser art butterflies which I coloured with my markers. I used my pink grays for this challenge along with one of the darker pinks in the range to give me a darker more shaded look.  I also used the pink grays and blender to colour my background.

Graph'it markers used:
Skin: 4115,4150,4155,3120,4135
Dress, Hair, Wings, Background and flowers: 5255,9303,9304,9305,9306,9307

Zoe - So this week I coloured up a Saturated Canary image - I wanted to make a page in my Smash book for personal reasons and it suited what I wanted to achieve for now. I also used my Graph It's to help colour coordinate my mats and layers. My pink card wasn't quite the right shade, so I just went over it. I added a few die cuts to embellish including the hearts from Doobadoo which I also coloured black.

Graph It's I used are -
