Handmade of the Day : Australian-themed Handmade cards

Welcome to Sydney. Welcome to Australia. Small works of art to send to your friends to remind them to come and visit Australia or just to say hi from Sydney. These are fabric picture cards that displays Australia's number one icon the Sydney Opera House, kangaroo and a map of the land downunder. Unique fabric prints are fitted inside the window cutouts to highlight the image of the card. Wadding of excellent quality are used to produce a raised effect of the image being displayed by the cards' window cutouts.

The colors behind the Sydney Opera house was inspired by the Festival of lights annual event of which the Sydney Opera House is the main highlight -

I visited the Australia Zoo several years ago and I thought a kangaroo would make a beautiful handmade card -

And the map of the Land Downunder -

Fabrics used are 100% cotton. And each card comes with a matching whie envelope for easy mailing and/or gift-giving. Check them out by a click on any of the images above or click on the link below. A great way to say hello to your special friends overseas.

Soft Treasures has gone green

Do not want to waste or throw away old t-shirts especially when I love the prints on the t-shirt so decided to spend time sewing and recycling into a market shopping bag. And the prints actually fits well with the type of bags I made. Fabrics are cotton  and they really look cool. I filled both bags with some items from my pantry so it would really look like a grocery shopping bag when I take a picture.
