May Challenge at Crafts Galore Encore - Anything Goes

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 month at Crafts Galore Encore we are sponsored by Oak Pond Creations who have supplied the DT with some fantastic digis and are giving a choice of 3 digis for a prize, check them out here.

The image is King of Courage by Oak Pond Creations
Coloured with Copic Ciao and Sketch
Impression Obsession Die Cut
Swirl Cuttlebug Imbossing folder
DP is by Allison Ellis
Card and Gems from Stash

I am entering this card into the following challenges:


 I have used King of Courage in memory of my father in law who was the most courageous and brave man I have ever known, he fought his illness to the end. To a very special man.

Rest In Peace Allan

  3. I'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

  5. Jo, 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.
