Inspire.Create Stamping Challenges #60

Hello and welcome I am Karen Farquhar from Australia. As a proud Australian it breaks my heart to see the devastating impact the current bushfires are having on the land we call home.

My heart goes out to our communities who have lost their homes, their livelihoods and above all their lives during this national crisis.

My thanks goes to our brave Australian men and women who are putting their lives on the line and selflessly fighting the fires.

My deep sorrow is for our land and our defenceless animals who are suffering. Our losses are not being exaggerated by the media we have lost millions of our native animals and some species may never recover. Farmers have lost their livestock and crops and they too may never recover. 19 people so far have lost their lives.
 Fortunately the fires did not reach our area but it is now time for all Australians to band together to provide assistance to all those effected by this national disaster. #notfightunite

Thank you for joining me today for Inspire.Create Stamping Challenge #060. The theme for this challenge is 'It's All Relative'.

For my submission I have created a birthday card for my granddaughter, Emily. I guess the 'relative' part comes into it as most cards I make are for my relatives so this card is relative to me.

I have also honoured our beautiful Koalas from the Birthday Bonanza Suite featured in the new 2020 Mini Catalogue. Also staying with the challenge theme 'It's All Relative' as Koalas are symbolic of my country.   

I have created a shaker card with the little koalas peeking around the edges of the card window. 

Inside view. 
I thought with Emily being a teenager now the card might be a bit childish for her but no she said 'what a cool card'. Phew.

And of course a gift tag to coordinate with her card.
