Is this too plain?
I attempted my first single layer card and I'm a bit apprehensive about it.
Does it look too plain? I used shimmery white paper and the watercolor vine wheel is in the background (it may be hard to see in the photo).
Thoughts?

And remember, this is my first attempt, so don't be *too* brutal! LOL

That's a lovely card!
You don't always HAVE to use a lot of layers, embellishments etc...

I think it's nice. I tend to use more basic cards for sympathy myself. Less is sometimes more.

I don't think it is too plain at all. Actually, I think I would prefer to have it even more plain - without the so saffron vines in the background! I like how the flowers are different colours!

Hi - I think less can be more. I really like your color choices for the flowers ... a soft and subtle look. Very classy!

I love that card. Sypmathy cards are supposed to be simple. I think its perfect. In some cases (especially sympathy cards) less really is more!

I think it is beautiful! Very elegant and classy! I agree with everyone else, "less" is definitely more!

Your card is lovely especially when you consider it's to express your sympathy. I'll be anxious to see more cards like this!!! Great Job, girl.

I am a big fan of single layer cards. (Layered cards actually intimidate me.) This is a beautiful classy card.

The card is really nice; often I'll search for "simple" or "one layer" cards because there are times that simple is better. Keep it up and TFS.

Your card looks great! I just finished doing a one-layer swap card and it was HARD! I did 10 samples (9 of which ended up in the garbage) before I hit on the one that was good enough to send. It will be in my gallery once the swap is received by everyone (don't want to take away the surprise! ;) )
