Make It Crafty Facebook DT - Graffiti Party

Good Morning Peeps!  Another exciting post from me today as this is my first official challenge project for Make It Crafty.  It's time to get your baggy jeans on, grab your ghetto blaster and hang out with the gals from Little Miss Muffet Stamps and Make it Crafty.

You may have seen the Urban Elements from Make It Crafty previously but now it's time to bring you some super cool Graffiti to adorn those brick walls and some baggy jean characters to stand around looking cool n stuff ....

This is my humble project which I decided to frame instead of create a card.  It's my first time creating a whole scene which I thought would be quite challenging but I must be very honest and say I absolutely loved every minute of it!!  Joining this dt has made me come out of my comfort zone and try new things and I'm having a blast!!  I have used the Urban Elements to create my scene and the gorgeous brand new Urban Courtney.

Thought I would show you a close up of her, isn't she just fab?!  As always I have coloured the whole scene in with my Copics.  

Make It Crafty & Little Miss Muffet have created a blog especially for this special launch and are challenging everybody to have a go at creating a scene with the new elements so please do hop on over to The Graffiti Party as they are offering a FREEBIE pack.  How fab is that?!

I'll be entering my project into the following challenges :

Bunny Zoes - Something blue

CMD Challenge - Dearest Copic color group

Deep Ocean - Goodbye Summer

Designed to Color - Anything goes

Digi Galore - Make a scene

Divas by design - Anything goes

Thanks for stopping by and hope to see your creations over on The Grafitti Party blog.  Lotsa luv, hugs xoxo
