wk 48....TWO COLOURS - Graph'It Colouring Crazy challenge

Welcome back to another Graph'It Colouring challenge!

Our challenge this week is

TWO COLOURS

Now this can be ANY two colours and to make it a bit easier you can use other tones too, but the primary colours in your project should be a double combo, ie pink and white, blue and white etc....

We were a little mean to the team and we have made them use only 

BLUE AND GREEN 

to dispel the myth that 'Blue and Green should never be seen'....I have no idea where that comes from but it's so wrong because it's a fabulous combination and works really well!

Remember you don't HAVE to use Graph'It markers to enter our challenges, just follow our simple rules in the sidebar and you could be our Random Prize winner to receive a set of markers! 

Let's see what the team have made! ....

which is full of yummy pastels and 6 brand new pastel colours which were developed by Nikky to fit into the colours which us crafters need!  (click pic to find them)

These 6 brand new colours are also available in a special 6 pack here.... 

And we now also have the brand new 2015 Trend set
