Hey Graph'It fans! Hope you're all looking forward to a fabulous weekend filled with lots of colouring - this week we have a great challenge for you, but first we have some exciting news!

We have a new Graph'It show on
Create and Craft TV on Thurs 28th Nov 
at noon (time subject to change) 

with Nikky, showing us all some great hints and tips and lots of lovely NEW products too! Exciting! Make sure you tune into the show which is on Sky 671 or Freeview 36 or you can also watch online at www.createandcraft.tv

Before we get to this week's inspiration and prizes, it's time to announce the winner of last week's challenge. We use a RANDOM NUMBER GENERATOR so that everyone has an equal chance of winning. IN ADDITION we also pick a Top 3 and may ask one of those people each month to join us as a Guest Designer. So here is today's winner chosen by our random number generator this week:
No 10 Donna....Congratulations Donna!

You win a great prize of £30 of Graph'It goodies, woohoo!


We also like to choose a Top 3 faves of the week so this week the Design Team have picked (in no particular order)....

Well done to all of you!

The winner of this week's challenge will win a fantastic prize of Graph'It goodies!


Remember - you can use ANY brand of alcohol marker to enter our challenges!


This week we decided to stretch the team's imagination and skills a little and gave them a toughie…we regularly receive emails from people asking how to colour different skin tones so this week 
we asked the team to colour 
Dark Skintones

Now we'd love you to have a go at this challenge too - go on, PLEASE try and have a go
It's not as hard as you think! 
We know this one is a little scary so as usual, you can enter an Anything Goes make in the challenge but there will be extra brownie points if you join in and brownie points for anyone who 
shows us how to colour Black Hair!

So let's get to the great team creations this week

Remember to join our Facebook group too, Graph'It Markers UK, where we have daily inspiration and share some of our favourite makes & hints and tips every day, it's a great place to be and we have some exciting news to share very soon!....

Cara...When I saw the theme for this challenge my first thoughts were EEEEEK! but i'm actually pleased I tried colouring darker skin tones now, and while it's far from perfect I now have a starting point to work on.  Go on give it a try!!

I have enjoyed this challenge, because it isn't very often I use dark skin tones, so it was nice to try out different skin colour combos.The image I have used it from the Polkadoodles Fredericka Cd rom.
