Lone Pine Designs: Coral and Blue Delight

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.

Coral and Blue Delight

Every Tuesday over at Moxie Fab World there is a new Trigger Challenge which I have really enjoyed participating in the last few weeks. You never know what might inspire you from the trigger photo. Here is this week's trigger photo....I love this coral colour and the two toned daisies!

Here is my card...I apologise for the poor lighting...I think it is much nicer in person! The two layered daisies from K&C are white so I pulled them apart and airbrushed the back layer with my copics in blue. I also airbrushed the four layers of waves at the bottom to represent the lovely frilly edges of the plates.
