Clean and Simple Dahlia


This is a sympathy card which I made for my Mum recently - she wanted something really simple with a floral image.  The stamp I've used is 'Pom Pom Dahlia' from Little Claire and you can find it here on their website.  I also used the Spellbinders 'Floral Oval' die set which you can find here - this was the first time I've tried cutting out the middle oval (with scissors using the perforations as a guide) and it worked out pretty well.

I'd like to enter my card in the following challenges:

Addicted to Stamps and More - 'addicted to CAS'
Perfect Sentiments Challenge - 'sympathy/thinking of you'
LEJ Designs Challenge - 'your favourite style' (clean and simple)
Happy Campers Craft Collective - 'flower power'

  7. Beautiful card, the image and clean design are very appropriate for a sympathy card - I find them quite tricky to make myself...

    What a beautiful card for a very sad occasion. The clean and simple minimal look really works and I love the gorgeous blue you have used in the flower. Lovely simple card.
