Card for two challenges

This card was made with the Penny Black Saturday Challenge in mind but whilst doing a spot of blog hopping I came across Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenge Blog and as #35 is Anything Goes I've decided to enter it for that too.

Penny Black Saturday Challenge Week 112 - is a recipe

READY STEADY COOK

and the ingredients are

1 Circle....2 Papers and 3 Flowers

Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenge Blog - # 35 ANYTHING GOES

Image - Penny Black
coloured with Promarkers + chalks
Papers - MME 'Bloom & Grow'
Ribbon & Brads - Papermania
Flowers - Prima

The base was made from smooth white 300g cardstock and is 15cm square. I began by choosing the image then printing off two matching papers in a green & pink colour scheme. However after colouring the plantpots in terracotta, apricot and pumpkin I decided that they didn't look right with the pink so began a search for something else. Much later ... more papers out and more printed off ... I decided to use these as the colours looked better and I had flowers and ribbon to match. I'm quite pleased with the finished card and now I'm going to see what I can do with the off-cuts ... other than adding them to the ever growing pile.
Thanks for looking and please leave me a message so that I know you dropped by.

Hugs,
