Lone Pine Designs: Wonderful Friend

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.

Wonderful Friend

I think the Kimono Kids in the new Stampin' Up catalogue are just adorable and I couldn't resist using one on this week's OWH Stars and Stamps sketch challenge card. Here's the sketch...

...and here's my card...I usually try and stay pretty true to the sketches but for this one I rotated it and added another layer as my card needed a little more colour.

Supplies:-

Stamps - Kimono Kids by SU and sentiment from Hero Arts

PTI white cardstock

Brilliance ink

SU coloured cardstock

SU ink

SU markers

Copics

SU DSP
