Yvonne - Hello! I am back and this week I got to play with this week I used Kaye - Thinking of You.  Now for those of you who were here last week, I made a scalloped easel card. It went a bit wrong. So this week I decided to do it again with the same papers and everything. Again I used the papers from the Polkadoodles Pretty Sweet Collection only this week I swapped the mat and layer around.   I added flowers and pearls for the finishing effect.

Teddy: 9402,9400,3210,1210 plus 4147

Flower: 1140, 1180, 9502,9500 and 9

Caroline....This week i have used a cutie image called Benson Bear - Just for you. I have kept things very simple on this card and for the colouring - sometimes you just need a quick image and Graph'it is great for speed because it's so easy to get shade and tone just using a few pens. I used stickles added to flower for a bit of bling and also cut an extra flower and added a brad to the centre.....

Graph'its used:

bear: 3140, 3110 1230

flower: 5120, 51110

Scatty Jan I have used the lovely Harriet - Fancy Dress digi image for my card this week , how cute is she and so lovely to colour up.

Yvonne - Hello!  This challenge theme is 'Pearls & Bling' but because Nikky hates the idea of her Design Team being idle, she also challenged us to a colour challenge of 'Cream & White'. I was very lucky to get to play with 'Harriet's Fancy Dress', she is too cute!

If you haven't joined us before, Graph'It are an amazing Alcohol based marker system which is comparable to the very best premium Alcohol markers available (no cheap versions here!). Graph'It have over 170 colours and are adding to the range all the time. The markers have fabulous rich, vibrant tones which make blending great and they will combine with your other markers too - we have colours that are not available in other markers including 2 whole sets of must-have Pink Greys and Green Greys! Check out the stockist list at the top of the page! 

Nikky...I've loved having Oddball Art as our sponsors - the images are fab and fun and just up my street! This week I coloured up this amazing Sweet Sai the Fairy image and she was great to colour! I love these images because you can really push yourself with some of the colour tones and it's nice to get into the darker richer colours for a change although I always seem to revert back to the amazing 72's as ever, what can I say? Creature of Habit!!...

Graph'Its used:
Skin: 4125, 4150, 4150 & 3120 mixed using Mix'It palette, 4135 outer cheeks and 4145 inner cheeks. (9402 added later as extra shadows under the hair and 9400 used as shadows around the eyes)
Hair: 9502 added on top of 9400, 9403, 9405, 9407, 9409
Clothing: 4125, 4150, 9400
Wings: 4125 (use this loads, can you tell?), 7220, 7240, 7260, 9406, 9408
Plus my faithful cannot be without Graph'It Shake White pen - THE best white pen ever!!

Scatty Jan  Loved colouring my image for this week - I used the lovely Girl with Glasses Paityn, how cute is she with her little glasses and yoyo. I kept the colours simple using the pinks and pink greys (which I love) i think they make a great combo - I found some perfect matching papers, so mounted onto a square card and punched a flower to match.
