Apologies to my followers for my lack of posts. Unfortunately my dear father in law has been very ill and I have been helping care for him at home, he passed away a few weeks ago. As my last post was his birthday card I am dedicating this next card to him.

This is a lovely card Jo and a great tribute to your Father in law. I am so pleased that you have come back to work with us, lots of love, Denyse xxx
ReplyDeleteA wonderful card Jo. Your colouring is fabulous and the lion's mane looks magnificently glossy and thick xx
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry about your father in law, but this card is such a wonderful tribute. Your colouring is so beautiful, I agree with Andree that his mane looks so glossy, he must be using a mane conditioner... It's good to have you back!! Hugs Karola xx
ReplyDeleteNice to see you back, sorry you've had a sad time. A great card in tribute though.
ReplyDeleteJo, this card is such a treasure. I sketched my King of Courage image for my my father and it was used to make him a card of encouragement during his battle with cancer. He fought courageously and is now in heaven. I'm sorry for your loss. Hold onto the moments and memories. Hugs, thoughts and prayers to you.
