Lone Pine Designs: Give Thanks

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.

Give Thanks

I made this card for the monthly Stampin' Up card club I attend where we swap our cards with the other members. This month's theme was Thanksgiving. To get the multi coloured leaf I made an ink pad with a few baby wipes, added drops of ink in the colours I wanted and then pressed the stamp onto the baby wipes. I used Splitcoast sketch SC302 for the layout.

Supplies:-

Stamps - With Gratitude and Holiday Best by SU

SU coloured cardstock

SU DSP

SU ink

SU markers

SU oval punch

Fiskar paper edgers

SU hemp twine

I love the technique you used for getting multi coloured stamps pads. I use it too. It's so economical too.
Autumn doesn't really exist in our part of the world as you know Tammy! But the long days and crisp nights are still pretty wonderful
