JULIA'S 'WAYS TO USE IT' Challenge WT202

Well, i can't actually remember if i have participated in a 'Way's to Use It' challenge before, but yesterday it was the turn of one of my papercrafting idols to set the challenge over at Splitcoast Stampers........Julia Stainton.

If you have never visited 'Belle Papier', then i suggest you pop over and check out Julia's fabulous work.........you will get lost in page after page of inspiring cards and occasionally some scrapbook pages too!

Patterned Paper Pizazz
Pull out your patterned paper and find Ways To Use it by making it special. Alter it, emboss it, glitter it…I’d love to see your very cool ideas.
For my design i have used some Basic Grey paper from the 'Urban Prairie' collection. The focal point is a rub-on from the same range, which i've cut out and raised on foam pads for some dimension.
I used my new Nestabilities 'Labels One' to cut the mats and the ribbon is from my stash.

Unfortunately my photography skills aren't very good, and even with my fabby camera, i have still had trouble showing the glitter i have added to the already gorgeous background paper!

I used a Sakura 'Quickie Glue' pen and some Deco Art glamour dust to 'bling' up my background, and to the naked eye it looks fab! shame you can't see it as well on here :(
I have a gallery over at Splitcoast, but i always forget to update it..........so off now to upload my piccy over there!

Thanks for your time today.........be back soon ;-D
