In memory of my Dad

I've been very quiet on my blog over the last week or so because I have felt too sad to make cards or share my thoughts.

My Dad has been very ill for the last 6 months and yesterday he passed away peacefully in his sleep. I am so glad that he is no longer suffering, although I miss him dreadfully.  I feel blessed that I was able to spend so much time with him during these last months and  feel that we grew even closer during this time. Dad was my biggest fan, especially when it came to cardmaking. He loved to see my creations and I will miss sharing them with him. He may be gone, but he will be forever in my heart.

This next card, is for the Runway Inspired Challenge. My Dad took up painting and pottery when he retired and I have been playing around with watercolour techniques on my cards, which he really loved. I started this card last week and was hoping to show it to him - it's not perfect, but I know he would have had a big smile on his face when he saw it.
