Dogwood Blossom

I am in need of a few sympathy cards here lately and decided to go with a simple flower die cut from textured card stock.  I will be sharing this over at The Memory Box blog for their floral challenge this month.

I started with an Alcohol background, cut out a shape from white card stock to frame it, leaving a little edge around to see the background peeking around the edges. Finished off with my flower die cut and a rub on sentiment.


Memory Box - Dogwood Blossom die
Spellbinders - Decorative Labels 28 die
Alcohol inks - Sunshine yellow, Carmel and Pearl Mixative
Pebbles Inc. - thinking of you rubons

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today, hope you are enjoying a nice week.  We had a high in the 50's yesterday and today they say we will reach 70, have to enjoy it since by Sunday we will be back in the 40's, talk about roller coaster of temperatures.

This is perfection, Connie! An absolutely beautiful alcohol ink background, and so pretty with the die cut window to let it show and highlight the flower at the same time. A wonderful card design!
