SISTER STASH - All occasion card with coordinating decorative papers, a flower and some embossed flags

I found a little stack of 8" x 8" papers in the stash of paper crafting supplies my sister left here a while back and thought it would be fun to make a few cards with them.  

For this card, I started with black card and added the background by cutting the piece diagonally to make up the difference between 8" and the 8.25" that I needed for my background.  I cut a 4"x4" piece and die cut a flower (Nestibilities) from it.  I layered it onto a larger piece of  orange and then added a center which consists of a dark pink circle punchie and an embossed yellow one which has been highlighted with black ink.  I embossed three little black strips with a distressed embossing folder (Cuttlebug) and then fish tailed the ends.  I tucked them up beneath the four inch piece.  When I laid this large element onto my card front it needed a bit of something so I added a vertical strip of pink letter paper which worked well.  I added my large floral element using 3D foam tape to finish my card.   Therese
