I love the look of the white on white cards that I see. (Or in this case, cream on cream) And I think that when they are done well, they convey a subtle elegance that can be hard to achieve with color. An example is this card here, it manages to be elegant and CAS, without being stark.
I thought that this look would work well for a sympathy card, so I chose a couple of flower cuts from the Silhouette store, and one of my Unity stamps, and let the simplicity roll.
Adhering delicate cuts like this was usually frustrating for me...until I discovered spray adhesive! Now it is the first adhesive that I reach for when I have lots of delicate lines!
You could absolutely use this type of card for just about any occasion...graduation, wedding, anniversary, birthday...just change up the sentiment!
Supplies:
- cardstock: Coredinations
- cut files: Silhouette America
- stamp: Unity Stamp Co.
- adhesive: Elmer's spray adhesive
Keeping it simple this week, as I link up over at Unity's Friends with Flair.
Thanks much for stopping by!
