Lone Pine Designs: Challenge Cards

Lone Pine Designs

"Lone Pine Designs" originated when I first moved to America in 2005 from Australia. My mother in Australia called our new home in NH "Lone Pine" as she wanted my new home, which is surrounded by pine trees, to have an Australian name. The Battle of Lone Pine is a very famous successful Australian battle which took place during the Gallipoli war in Turkey in 1915. It was called The Battle of Lone Pine for the solitary pine tree standing in the middle of the battlefield which surprisingly remained standing at the end of the battle. After the tough few months leading up to our arrival here in America and surviving the first year in a new country I felt like that pine tree still standing in the battlefield. It was in 2006 when I started to sell my work on Ebay that I decided that Lone Pine Designs would be the perfect name for this new endeavour in my life.

Challenge Cards

I have two challenge cards to share with you today...I have only just started doing challenges in the last few weeks and I must say how fun they are! The first challenge card was a challenge issued to me by my Mum in Australia. The challenge was to make an Easter card for her dear friend Sister Antoinette, depicting Easter morning with the bible verse from John 11:25 and to include a white silk ribbon (her favourite). I airbrushed the scene with my Copic markers.

The second card was made using a card sketch from Mojo Monday...I think it was from a couple of weeks ago...I had seen the sketch whilst blog hopping and it intrigued me and this is what I came up with!
