India is the country we travel to this week it is also the birthplace of my mother in law and her sisters! A country that brings to mind the splendours of the Maharajah, painted elephants, colourful saris & spicy curries, the Indian mutiny and the horrors that happened in places like Cawnpore, Madras & Calico fabrics that originated here, the Taj Mahal, the palaces & forts of Jaipur, the Indus , Varanasi, Buddha and all the many many Indian gods like Kali, Ganesh etc, Gandhi and Mother Teresa....I never got there when we lived in the Middle East & now , I fear, I just couldn't cope with the begging! So this week I've chosen to use more of my dad's stamps

And also an elephant 

Colour me positive 

Pink frame, image: jellyfish, quote: remember that you are absolutely unique. Just like everyone else. Margaret Mead

I just went with the quote this time as I had a lovely orchid image that I've had for ages that seemed to be perfect on the background I had in front of me,

I have stamped the quote with Wendy Vecchi archival ink (hydrangea) and added a little colour with an aging felt pen!
