Fifth Avenue and Bling

Today's card is for a new to me challenge that I've seen the link to on some of my friend's blogs.  It's called CAS-ual Fridays.  You know me, I'm a CAS kind of gal so I had to check it out.  This week's challenge is to put bling on a card.  I  can handle that!

The layout is from this week's CAS challenge at SCS is to do a card  inspired by a sketch by Regina.  (You can see her card on the bottom of the CAS challenge link.)

I tried to use decorative paper, I really did and then went with my Square Lattice Embossing Folder.  I hope you aren't getting sick of seeing it, because I seem to keep pulling it out.

The flowers are some that I embossed and watercolored some time ago.  They were stamped with Whisper White on Shimmery White cardstock then heat embossed.  I used the Aquabrush and reinker to paint the flowers with Melon Mambo then cut them out.  I tried several ideas for the strip but settled on a piece of So Saffron ribbon with a scrap of DSP over the top.  So I did get some decorative paper in!
