Hello Nomad friends. Llama tell you, the Atacama dessert is the driest desert in the world. Most of it is in northern Chile and it contains a fast fashion clothes mountain that can be seen from space. Personally I find that mind boggling. Not that we discard so many clothes, since humans seem to be a particularly wasteful and careless species, but that they have been dumped/are being dumped in such a remote location in such enormous quantities. No wonder this llama looks so thoughtful.
I used a Kort og Godt patterned card for my card base that made me think of hard pan and marble. I found a pale scrap of patterned paper and ripped it to give my llama somewhere to stand. I stamped and die cut Hero Arts Llama and lots of clouds from the Cowboy Adventure stamp set on lots of little white scraps. So glad for those little cloud dies LOL.

A super card - llamas are so appealing. It's incredible to hear that waste clothing is being dumped in such wild and far flung places. It's no wonder that this lovely creature is looking disgusted. Thank you for sharing this card with us at Allsorts.
These are great clouds and the background looks like sand! Thanks for joining A Blog Named Hero!
I love your cute llama card, Gail. Thank you for joining in the Allsorts Challenge.

A super monochromatic card, the colour definitely bring to mind sand and desert, lovely little llama too. Thanks for sharing at Stamping Sensations.
PS Your story of the discarded clothes mountain in the middle of the desert is horrific- mankind has a lot to answer for.
