Let's get to the great team inspiration this week...we decided to challenge denim and jeans because there are SO many different colour combinations and cool techniques for getting a great denim look and it's one of those things we get asked about all the time. Graph'It have some fantastic colours which are great for denim...the selection of blues is one of the best around and even the Cool Greys are stunning for stonewashed denim effects - go check out the colour palette. Before we get to the team inspiration, 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!


Simonne ... All my digi images and papers are from the Polkadoodles Bonbon Belles double CD and I used them to create a scene for my card. As I don't have the cool greys (...yet, lol!) I used the deepest aqua colour (peroleum 7290) with my Denim (7180) Graph'It marker to achieve a deep shadow for my jeans:

Cara
I've decided to go with a dark bleached denim look and I also followed the colours through into her hair (I do like to co-ordinate) but it does show that you don't need the full Graph'it Marker collection to colour a decent image - I basically used skin colours, a few greys and a few blues.

Graph'it Markers used:
Skin: 4125,4145,4155,4135
Clothes,hair and blue parts of weights : Black, 7180,7170,7160, 7130,7110
Grey's for weights: 9108, 9106, 9104

Kevin  I have used this gorgeous image from the Polka Doodles Pretty Sweet cd rom and went with the washed out jeans look.

Top & Shoes 1130. 1150. 1250. 2140

I wanted to achieve and older worn denim look so added Cool Greys as they have a lovely blue tinge to them and they blend so well with the other Blues.
