Stamped Cards

Here are a few cards I have made over the last few months.   My lovely niece Maddison turned 6 earlier in the year and I had to go girly and pink - not my normal style!

The anniversary card is one of my favs.  How can you go wrong with basic grey papers, browns, stitching and the beautiful bird stamp?

The other 2 cards have been made as secret sister cards.  The theme for the first one was stitching and animals.  I have stitched the grass, hills and bush on the sewing machine.  This technique is something I would like to explore and play with some more.  The next one was using using a sketch layout.  Had to get stitching on there somewhere too!

Time for some more art

Here are some ATC's made in the last few months for a group I am. I have been running them trying to get some inspiration and swapping going. The themes in order of viewing are Christmas, Industria Technique, Fave Colour, Floral and Around the World. Please ask questions if you want to know what I used in making a particular one.

Remote Village Tree House, Vanuatu

And finally, last post for today. Here is the treehouse we actually slept in, in a remote village 2 hours from real civilisation on Tanna Island

Mt Yassur Volcano, Tanna Island, Vanuatu

What a once in a lifetime experience, to climb a real live active volcano.

Vanuatu Sunsets

Now if you have seen my previous photos, you know I like a good sunset!

People of Vanuatu

The people of Vanuatu are so friendly, warm and welcoming.

Beautiful Vanuatu

These photos are all taken around Port Vila. The first one is off the back lagoon and Erakor Island. The colours of the lagoons changed daily and just blew me away. The 2nd one is on Hideaway Island, a short 10 mins outside Port Vila. The 3rd one is of Irikiki Resort across the main harbour/lagoon from Port Vila esplanade.
