With the events in Boston, I felt compelled to change the card I had planned to make to show off today's set, Be A Showoff.  I have been feeling sadder and sadder as more information rolls out.  I decided to make an uber-simple card to illustrate the grace and beauty in the single feather image.  Because this set is congratulatory and celebratory in nature, I borrowed a sentiment from a previously released set called Oopsy Daisy.  I don't normally use a images or sentiments outside of the newly released set, but like I said, I felt compelled.
 
Thanks for stopping by.  Head on over to Sue's blog to see how she used today's set.

    Very elegant sympathy card. Unfortunately, I have had to make a few recently, but I know the handmade card was appreciated.
