Morning readers,
I recently had need of a generally supportive card, for someone going through the wringer right now - I realised I don't really make those types of card very often. More often than not my cards have an occasion designated, like birthday/anniversary/get well/sympathy and, obviously, none of these were suitable. I made one for this person but thought that perhaps I should have one or too, given that these occasions require support sharpish and I might not always have the time to make one so ..... I made it red and not too girly so it could work for male or female but the addition of stickles PROBABLY makes it a little more feminine - see what you think ...

I adore that Clarity feather Kathy and the red and white is perfect too, and with just a touch of glittery loveliness..perfect! x
What a gorgeous feather image and, along with the sentiment, is just right for a supportive occasion card.
