Lone Pine Designs: Friends

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.

Friends

The Stampin' Sisters in Christ challenge this week is to make either an all white or an all cream card...a monochrome in pure tones as the bible verse for the week is...Philippians 4:8 "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things."

I had a tough time trying to photograph this all white card but hopefully you get the idea. I accented the embossed FRIENDS with itty bitty rhinestones to match the rhinestone in the button and the corners.

Supplies:-
DCWC Embossed card
PTI white cardstock
Cuttlebug embossing folder
SU corner punch
Foam dots
SU ribbon
Button
Rhinestones
K & C Flower

Very gentle and thoughtful, which is what a sympathy card should be.
