Fusion - Green and Gold

Hello!

What a fabulous gallery we had for the Fusion Card Challenge 3rd Anniversary! I'm imagining that our newest challenge will bring another fabulous array of gorgeous cards! The inspiration photo is perfect for Australia Day (26th of January) with some beautiful wattle (acacia/mimosa) and the green and gold theme.

This time around I only used the inspiration photo and not the sketch.
I used PTI Painted Petals stamps.
Tonight I am a bit distracted as I watch the news bulletins for updates on the big bushfire on the Sunshine Coast. The fire brigade are outside my Dad's home while the fires rage behind their neighbours' houses, and my cousins' home a short distance away is also under threat. I'm am praying that the Fire Service gets this fire under control tonight. It's been so extremely hot that the conditions are unfortunately perfect for bushfire. :-(  Edit for update: Fire crews worked through the night. The Rural Fire Service volunteers stepped into action to relieve the exhausted Fire & Emergency officers. My step-mother posted video of the fire raging right behind their street with the emergency services people working to save all the homes. The good news is that this morning the fire is controlled and no homes (or people) were lost. So thankful! Now to pray for a good dump of rain!

Thank-you for visiting.

Papertrey Ink December Blog Hop

Hello!

I love it when the Papertrey Ink Blog Hop falls on a day where I've had some time for stamping! The inspiration to end off the year is bright and fun. I made a cheerful card in response. :-)
I used PTI Painted Petals. I got a bit freeform with my flower creation and leaf placement, luckily the style of the set allows for this, haha! Inks are a mixture of PTI, Altenew, and Stampin'Up!
After a very cool and rainy Christmas day, today has dawned with bright blue skies and the heat is starting already. We might actually get to spend the day in the pool with the kids today (which was the abandoned plan for Christmas). I just love Christmas holidays!

Thanks for visiting me!
