Stamping 411's Challenge

This is my version of Stamping 411's Challenge this week.  I liked the square card with the square (almost) center.  I used Basic Gray for the card base,the Designer Series Paper is the Lap of Luxury.  The image is the large image from the Fresh Cuts stamp set, stamped with Concord Crush Classic Ink on Very Vanilla card stock and backed in Concord Crush card stock.  The ribbon is the Concord Crush 1/2" Stitched Poly Ribbon and the flower brad is from the Neutrals Flower Brads collection. All products are from the Stampin' Up! 2010-2011 Idea Book and Catalog.

I stamped the saying from the set and backed it with a scrap of the Designer Series Paper.  I originally thought I'd center it, but it covered part of the flower.  While holding it in various places on the front, it slipped and stuck to this spot!  I couldn't get it off without tearing the image, so here it sits - at least it's straight! 

What do you think:  Better to not cover the flowers, or Better to be centered and cover part of the pretty flower?  Leave a comment and let me know what you think!

Happy Stamping!
