Kenny K and Graph'It Markers!

Good morning folks, its inspiration time over at Graph'it Colouring Challenge and we've got some fab prizes up for grabs with not only some Graph'it goodies from Premium Craft Brands up for grabs but also we've got another amazing sponsor .... one lucky winner will receive a prize from Kenny K Downlods too!!

 I loved colouring this fun image and I adore the colour palette Nikky has chosen for us this week! I coloured the image from memory though and went a bit more orange than red lol.

  Once I'd coloured the image I masked him and used the tube from a biro to blow ink from my Graph'Its to create a background. I doodled around the edges and then I was very brave and wrote the sentiment lol. Here's a close up, I've added some dots to the background with  white and silver Graph'It Shake Pens and used the silver pen to give his specs some shine.

For a full list of the colours I've used, pop over to the challenge blog and while you're there check out the amazing techniques my teamies have been using with these fun images.

I'm entering this card in the following challenges:

Digi Choosday: all about men

Kenny Ks crafty crew: colour palette

Oddball Art Stamps: summer fun

Ooh La La: one for the boys

Anything goes at No Matter Which Challenges

Hello blogland buddies, March already ... where does the time go? Its actually starting to feel like Spring is on the way in my little corner of the world, the sun is shining and the crocuses and snowdrops are looking so pretty. Shame the rest of the garden looks so sad but hopefully everything will soon start to grow again. Anyway its time for our March challenge at No Matter Which Challenges, our theme is a nice easy one 'Anything Goes' and this month we are sponsored by the fabulous Kenny K and the DT have all been lucky enough to work with some fun Kenny K images!

I've made a door hanger using a wooden blank which I've painted with black and hot pink acrylic paints, creating a crackle effect with PVA glue. I coloured the image with Graph'It markersand added some lace and ribbon from my stash. The sentiment was computer generated and die cut with nesties. I've added a black seam binding bow, a paper rose from Wild Orchid Crafts and popped a black button at the top. Here's a better pic of the image:

I'm entering this project in the following challenges:

Craft us Crazy: anything goes

Crafty ribbons: anything goes with ribbon

Crafts and Me: dies/punches

Hotshot Crafts: anything but a card

One Crazy Stamper: anything goes

Stampin for the weekend: Use lace

Sweet Pea Stampers: Use a digi

Well as its a lovely sunny day I'm venturing out to a local craft fair and hopefully Mr Blogger will play nicely and post this for me. I don't seem to have been anywhere but work and walking the dogs for ages as the weather has been so dreadful so I'm looking forward to an afternoon out and possibly a nice slice of chocolate cake or something equally scrummy!

thanks for visiting today, hope you're having a good weekend
