Wednesday's What's On the Desk?

I haven't done a "What's on the Desk" in a long time, but I finally had some time to play and pulled out my box of orphaned card pieces - those that don't get onto finished cards. It was pretty sad, as I had quite a lot to choose from. So I narrowed it down to these:

I played with a few pieces:

and ended up with these:

So, what to make? I decided the Parisian Blossoms Designer Series Paper needed some more color:

Yes, I like this a bit more. So time to start:

First I cut a Stitched So Sweetly rectangle of the DSP with the script in silver.

But when I added it to the card, I felt it was a bit busy, so I decided on a piece of Vellum:

The Vellum mutes the paper just enough that it doesn't compete with the floral.

I embossed my Petal Pink scalloped circle with the Scripty embossing folder to mimic the DSP.

And I cut three "merci"s using the Parisian Dies and Basic Black cardstock:

and stacked them together to make them thicker. Then added to my circle:

OK, now what?

OK, coming together, but it needs something:

I fussy-cut a flower from the DSP...perfect:

OK, let's put it together; that Eiffel Tower needs some Dimensionals, but they are way too big! So I snipped a skinny piece along the side of the Dimensional sheet and added them here:

And I think the flower needs a little bling:

How about some Silver Thread? Love! And maybe some ribbon?

Now we're getting there, but I think I still need a little more bling. How about the Holiday Rhinestones? Yes, the Pool Party ones are perfect:
