Lone Pine Designs: He Restores My Soul!

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.

He Restores My Soul!

Today's card is for The Play Date Cafe Challenge #63.

The day this challenge was posted I received my very first order from Our Daily Bread Designs. I've been wanting to place an order for nearly a year now so I was very excited when it arrived. The stamps I used on this card are from the set Quiet Waters and I knew it would be perfect for this challenge. The stream is sprinkled with Dazzling Diamonds and I coloured the image with a combination of airbrushed Copics and SU markers.

Supplies:-

Stamps - Quiet Waters by ODBD

PTI white cardstock

SU markers

SU Dazzling Diamonds

Ribbon

CM cardstock

SU coloured cardstock
