Anything but square

Hello and a very happy Tuesday to you all

I was hoping to spend some time tidying my garden today but the weather has put a stop to that - real April showers kind of a day. Well never mind, I'll craft instead.
The challenge at In the Pink is anything but a square and here is my take on the challenge - 

I began with a 8 inch card blank which I cut with Spellbinder's Grand decorative circles one. It does take several attempts to get it to cut perfectly but it will eventually. I then cut another Grand decorative circle from a pattern paper which I found in my stash. I matted and layered the card base with a smaller Grand decorative circle and a decorative labels 8 (both from Spellbinders) cut from more papers from my stash.

The image is For you Tilda from Magnolia stamps and has been coloured with the following Spectrum Noirs -

• hair - GB8, GB10 and EB5
• skin - FS2, FS3 and TN2
• clothes - PL1, BP2, BP6, PP1, PP2 and FS6
• flowers - PL1, BP2, BP6, PP1, PP2, FS6, CG2 and DG3
• shadow - BG2
• sky - IB1

I cut the image out using Spellbinder's Floral ovals, inked whist still in the die with spun sugar distress ink and attached to the card base with foam pads. I then cut several flowers using Doohickey antique daisies die and some more of the papers from my stash, and some flourishes from green core'dinations and a Die-namics fancy flourishes die. I layered my flowers and attached to the card with the flourishes as shown.

To finish I added some gems to the centre of the flowers and to the die cuts.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenge -
