Dad is on my mind

My dear father seems to be on my mind such a lot these days. I have worried so much since we had to place him in a care home. I try to send him a card every few days as the home is just too far away for me to visit often. Although he can hardly see I try to send him tactile cards knowing that his nursing carer will read out my message and give it him to feel. I also try to send a thank you card to the nursing staff too. What angels they all are, and so much patience! This card I made using a background of four squares placed together like quilting blocks. On top of this I placed an oval Spellbinders die cut and mounted a little inky mouse using a brush to paint the message. My goodness I have had that stamp a long time. It came from the original House Mouse collection! The beautiful organza lilac spotted ribbon is from Really Reasonable Ribbons. I just adore their selection of goodies.
