Orange Paperie & Co June Challenge

ECHIDNA GORGE

Thanks to Jo for a great challenge this month; tabs, tags and texture. It was lovely to see Tone as GD.  
The photo I scrapped was taken in Echidna Gorge in Purnnululu National Park. It is about an hour walk along a stony creek bed and we were just in time to see the sun light up the cave at about midday.  
I had a play with some embossing enamels from Stamendous through a Crafter's workshop stencil and enjoyed using a new roller stamp.  
This part of the magnificent Kimberley has been on our bucket list for about 20 years and it was absolutely worth the long, long drive to get there.

Scrap Around The World - 2 The Pinnacles

This is the inspirational mood board over at Scrap Around The World.  

I was inspired by the suit case,  the camera and the wide open spaces in the top left photo. 
Last year I was lucky enough to spend three months in the outback 
and National Parks of Western Australia.  
Always happy with my trusty Nikon in hand; 
I love to be up early and out late to catch the changing light.  
At these times, the parks have fewer travellers and the peace and serenity lifts my spirit and recharges my soul. Who was it that said. "You can take the kid out of the country, but you can't take the country out of the kid"?
This photo of the Pinnacles rock formations was taken at sunset in Numbung National Park.

I enjoyed using the found items, the bark and dried grass 
as they still have the faint smell of the bush.
Love this paper by Prima - Sunrise Sunset collection "Del Sol" and the 
Dusty Attic Chippies
I used an old Ranger stamp and some new ones from Prima and Dear Lizzy
