The challenge this week on 3 Clovers Thursday Challenge is BLING...use anything sparkly, glittery or blingy! I have come to realize I am BLING challenged for sure. My stamping style is fairly CAS (Clean and Simple) so I really had to strain my brain to come up with a "blingy" card. This is the second card I made and my favorite. I will have to post effort #1 a little later in the week. I am still trying to get the correct colors to photograph! (obviously it was not my fave)I first used my square nesties to cut out both the red and white squares , added the brads and then I had to figure out what to do with the darn things....I tried so many different layouts before I settled on this one. (the card ended up being 5x7) I have to say that I love that SU! DP...the pretty black with the clear embossed cherries and stripes on it...I just wasn't sure how to use it...I finally found a card to add it too!
I did a bonehead stamper trick and glued the middle black piece on and it looked so pretty...until I realized the cherries where hanging upside down...I hate it when I do things like that. Of course I CAREFULLY pulled it apart and righted the wrong. This is good strong paper besided being pretty LOL!
See the pretty embossing on the paper?----------------------------------

What a great card. I love the Cherry Brads and pairing it with that super cool cherry paper is genius. Nothing wrong with your "Bling" Mojo at all.
OMG...love this! That black is so great and what about those brads? I want some! One of your best evah!
This is FABTASTIC!!! Love these Cherries!! I hate when I stick things down, then realize: OOPS! But you did a great job with the fix.
Well, if you strained your brain -- it was certainly worth it. This is gorgeous! Thanks for being my blogging friend -- I've left you a little something on my blog.
Ohh, I can't resist -- I just saw a comment about the "bling cherries" -- is that anything like "bing cherries?"
I love the pretty papers with cherries! And Cherry brads are fantastic idea to use in this challenge!

I love your blingy cherries! Great card. I love clear embossing on dark paper, haven't done that in a long time, thanks for the inspiration!
Truly gorgesou Sue, and right up your alley with the cherry bling! I don't think you are bling challenged at all. You use class with your bling! Best, Curt
