Lone Pine Designs: Birthday Angel

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.

Birthday Angel

Last Wednesday's OWH Stars and Stamps midweek throwdown was a recipe challenge...to make a card using a die cut or punch, ribbon and heat or dry embossing!

I punched out 5 hearts and glued them together to make the button...I finished it off with some Crystal Effects and tied it with some embroidery thread. I hand ruffled the ribbon to match the ruffles in the angels dress and I embossed the background with an embossing folder.

Supplies:-
Stamp - Birthday Angel by Penny Black
PTI white cardstock
Brilliance ink
SU markers
Aquapainter
Cuttlebug embossing folder
SU coloured cardstock
SU ribbon
Embroidery thread
Foam dots
SU heart punch
Crystal Effects
