Lone Pine Designs: Guest Designer for a day!

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.

Guest Designer for a day!

I'm very excited to be a guest designer today on Michelle Perkett's blog where a challenge for Operation Write Home is being held...the challenge is to make birthday cards. Both my cards today feature Michelle Perkett digital stamps which are available in her Etsy shop.

This delightful cupcake image is covered in little flowers so I couldn't resist punching out the flowers and using brads to give the frosting some dimension.

After colouring this yummy cupcake with Copics and Stampin' Up markers I sprayed it and the sentiment with SU smooch spray so it has a lovely glimmer to it...unfortunately it doesn't show up in the photo. The pink rhinestones make for cute, girly sprinkles!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Supplies:-

Digital stamps by Michelle Perkett

PTI white cardstock

SU coloured cardstock

SU markers

Copics

SU brads

SU flower punch

Rhinestones

DP unknown

SU smooch spray

SU and American Crafts ribbon

Foam dots
