It's been a difficult couple of weeks, during which my "mojo" completely left me. However, grief is a process and I'm beginning to make steps to regain some of the things that give me pleasure.
This card is dedicated to my father, Bill, who taught me, by example, how to be a "Big Fish" that is bold, bright, and brave.
The "big fish" is from the Koi Tattoo set by Bombshell Stamps and was colored with Copic markers. The cardstock base is gray in real life...
Thanks for visiting today!
I'm so sorry to hear your dad passed away. Sounds like he was a great man. I bet he was proud of you, because you certainly are bold, bright and brave. Be kind to yourself as you grieve my friend.
