Lone Pine Designs: You're A Friend Of Mine

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.

You're A Friend Of Mine

The Midweek Throwdown this week over on Operation Write Home's Stars and Stamps blog was to create a card using the free Rainy Day digital image provided by *Wink*Wink Ink. I have never used a digital image on my cards before...I love a stamp and some ink! I loved this cute image so I couldn't resist joining the challenge. I printed out the image on my laser printer and then coloured it with Copics. I then air brushed the sunshine to go with the sentiment...which I also printed from my computer. Have a great day!

Supplies:- Image - Rainy Day by *Wink*Wink Ink
PTI white cardstock
Copics - BG10, BG72, Y000, Y11, Y13, E30, E33, G40, G82, R81, R85

Your card is wonderful, great job with your Copics and air brushing! I've been heavily into digi stamps lately, I think what I like about them the most is storage space and instant gratification.
