Lone Pine Designs: You're Simply The Best!

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 Simply The Best!

I made today's card for this week's Tuesday Trigger over at Moxie Fab World. The flower stamp was stamped twice to get the two different shades of pink. Whenever cutting out my small stamped images I always use my 3 1/2" decoupage scissors with a curved tip...they make cutting into small, tight areas a breeze!

Below is the trigger photo for this week's challenge. I think you can see I was inspired by the colours, flowers and spotty fabric.

Supplies:- Flower and Sentiment from AC Moore

SU ink

SU coloured cardstock

SU markers

Buttons

SU DSP

PTI white cardstock

Foam Dots
