Lone Pine Designs: Peace

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.

Peace

The Ippity challenge this week is a 1 - 2 - 3 challenge...that means you create a card using for example: 1 ribbon, 2 buttons, and 3 Designer papers...but you pick you own combination of things to add to your creation.

I chose...1 Ribbon, 2 Colours, and 3 Snowflakes. I made the background paper by lightly stamping the snowflakes from the set Season of Joy and then I lightly "sponged" the background with SU ink but instead of using a sponge I used a scrunched baby wipe.

Supplies:-
Stamps - Kissmas & Mistletoe and Season of Joy by Ippity
PTI white cardstock
SU ink
Martha Stewart snowflake punch
SU coloured cardstock
SU rhinestones
SU ribbon
