Something Beautiful By Julie: D is for Dazzle

Hello and Welcome to my latest Blog post!

Today it is time for the ABC- Challenge D is for Dazzle

The sponsor for this Challenge is Pink Gem Designs

Here is my DT Card

I love this gorgeous Vintage Style Girl Digi!

I have coloured her with Distress Reinkers! A new technique for me, but I am enjoying it!

My bit of Dazzle is the small gems on her hair bow, the sequin flowers, and a touch of glitter!

Flowers are from my stash! Dies used are Tim Holtz Butterflies, Sherri Baldy Love Word, and Spellbinders Circles!

I hope you enjoy my card and will join in the Dazzle challenge , all you need is a bit of sparkle and bling!

Hugs Julie xox

About Me

Hi I'm Julie. I am a stay at home Mum. I have 5 kids, ranging in age from 26 down to 6, and a patient Hubby. We live at Macksville on the Mid North Coast of NSW Australia. I love nothing more than doing crafts for relaxation and enjoyment. I have been making cards for the last 25 years.
I have studied Art full time over 5 years and love all types of Art and Craft including, Painting, Folk Art, Ceramics, Jewellery, Mosaic, Teddy and Doll Making, Dance Costumes, and more recently Hair Accessories.
I have also taught classes in many of the above crafts to Ladies and Children, at Spotlight and various other places.
I also work a few shifts a month in a craft gallery in Nambucca Heads, where I sell some of my work!
I gather inspiration from many other artists, but always add my own flare to my work. I hope you will gather inspiration from me also.
Enjoy my Blog and dont forget to follow me and leave your comments.
