This Halloween image is Autumn right? Well it is in my world! I love the tones of the purples and lilac in Graph'It - purples are colours I never ever seem to use in my colouring or crafting so when it gets round to this time of year it makes a nice change for me...

I apologise because I totally forgot to write down the colours I used on this but I know for sure her cloak was done with the Pink Greys!

So there is our inspiration from the fabulously talented Graph'It team this week!...

This is a tough Challenge, but it can also be a lot of fun to make something other than a character the focus of your card. Originally, I was just going to use the Graffiti to make a party invite, but I kind of got carried away and coloured up a whole wall too...

Wall; 4110, 3210, 3170, 3180, 3190, Whites; 9500, 9100, Turquoise; 7140, 7145, 7160, Yellow; 1150, 1250, Green; 8260, 8270, 7290, Orange; 2150, 2180

This week's theme was defnitely a challenge but I decided to have a go at colouring glass and bottled (ouch bad pun lol) out of colouring the wallpaper through the glass so I tried to add some shadow and  depth around the bottom of the glass to make it look like it was standing well away from the wall.

I used neutral greys for the glass and added a little 7210 for the glass,, I also used the neutral greys for the shadows

So there is our inspiration from the fabulously talented Graph'It team this week!...
