Swirly

As a result of my spring clean-up, I gained some kind of overview over my papers and craft supplies again. Also, I found a couple of half-finished projects such as printed digis and magazine cut-outs, such as this picture of white roses that were already glued on a piece of white cardboard. 
I must have planned to use them on a sympathy card, but never finished the idea. Now, I decided to glue the image on a piece of black cardboard before placing it on a simple but elegant white background with shimmering floral swirls. 
Unlike in my usual card creations, I thought I'd let the white swirls blend into the cardbase without an additional piece of black background paper that would create a line between the cardbase and the added layers. 
However, I'm thonking about adding a couple of pearls as the card itself is quite simple without any additional ornaments. On the other hand, I might as well leave it as it is or add a tiny sentiment once I'll need it for a sad occasion.

  2. I think the way you chose to mat the focal makes this so visually strong. This is an elegant design that could be used for a wedding, anniversary, or even as a sympathy card! I love it! Thanks for visiting A Place To Start. We look forward to your next visit!
