Nikky...I loved this colour challenge! Cara very kindly chose a great palette for me to try and emulate and at first I went 'ewwww I hate yellow!' then I went 'ewwww I hate GOLD!' Then I just picked up my big girl pants and went for it - that's what the whole idea of these palettes is about - instead of each of us choosing the same old colours week in week out and the same combinations, we have to choose something we may not normally go for. And this combo for me sure wasnt one I'd pick but boy! How lovely is it!!
I love having all our amazing sponsors with us each week and this is our first week with Make It Crafty - I kinda chose this image accidentally and wow - that hair! It made me feel a little faint at first LOL! But it's all about breaking down your image into sections so you don't get overwhelmed, and just tackle one section at a time and work through it.
This image is called Bella's Party and you can get here HERE....
You really only see the glitter once you move the paper around so it gives a lovely subtle glittery sheen but unlike some other products out there you CAN actually see it ok! It's also great to just push around with your fingers to get a little sheen and glittery effect. I dont like going too OTT but if you like you can allow it to dry and really build up quite a strong base of glitter by layering.

Cara I love the images we were given to work with this week... I chose Chantelle at the Races and she has the most stunning hair and outfit .. how I would love to look like that when I went out!!
So here is my lovely colour palette chosen by our boss lady Nikky.
I love this colour palette but I have to be honest I did find it challenging, i'm usually a bold and bright kind of girl ....
...and here you can see I was very naughty and completely strayed from the palette (oooops).
Now for those of you who struggle with lighter softer palettes like me Nikky did give me a great tip to try next time and that is to work backwards and go from light to dark and that way you get to set out your highlights and hopefully wont lose them like I did!
The Graph'it colours I used were:
Skin:6140,3120,3105,4155,4115 and 4135 for the cheeks.
