Sunday Quickie

Just a quick reminder to all of you that love a challenge,there's still 9 days left for you to enter a Pink And Black card into Scrapbook Sisters first Card Challenge! With that in mind I thought I'd set about using those colours for my Sunday Quickie.
The hardest thing about putting this card together was how to place the flowers,I started with a pink card base measuring 14cm square. I then cut 9 squares measuring 4cm then 9 squares measuring 3.5 cm I had a strip of the spotty doodlebug paper and punched 9 flowers using the punch over the edge of the card at different angles so that a small part of each flower was missing,I still wanted to use large gems as centres so took this into consideration because if too much flower was missing the gem would overhang,spoiling the effect.


I stamped my greeting before placing the flower so that I could choose the flower that fitted the available space best. How easy is that? The only thing that I think would have made it easier would be to have nestie squares but alas I haven't so had to make do with my trusty fiskars paper trimmer.
I'm using this card for the following challenges:-
Two Sisters Challenge 6,Monochromatic,
Crafty Emma Challenge 2,Floral Frenzy,
Secret Crafter 99,Clean and simple,
AS24,Pretty in pink,
Cowgirls Sunday Challenge,Anything goes,
