A bit of a bling...

Now I will admit I struggle with bling (ok, I struggle with just about every embellishment known to crafting) so when it comes to making girly, bling laden, cards for girly, bling laden friends, I leave it til the very last moment and then try and fling something together that doesn't make me cringe.
You may want to avert your eyes, as tonight's offering is one of "those".
The image is by Victoria Case at SCACD and has been coloured in with Promarkers and then cut out and mounted on some foam pads. The stripey BP was cut out with a Nestie scallop circle and then I stamped and embossed the Stampin' Up sentiment. I inked the edges with Walnut Stain Distress ink, then had a random moment, and covered the entire circle in versamark and clear embossing powder, so it is actually really glossy and shiny. The bling flourish came ready to peel off and stick down, and I just added a couple more to my shiny circle to finish it off. Still quite a CAS card, but with a "nod" to blingness.
I would like to enter into the following challenges:
I Love Promarkers - Sparkly Bling
Fab N Funky - What'eva
The Outlawz - Monday Greetings Challenge Anything Goes
