Lone Pine Designs: Gold Christmas

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.

Gold Christmas

This week's midweek challenge over on the OWH Stars and Stamps blog is a colour challenge to use gold on your card without using any kind of glitter products. I decided to make a Christmas card just using gold and cream. It's been a long time since I've embossed anything in gold so it was fun to dig it out and use it!

Supplies:-

Stamps - Kissmas & Mistletoe by Ippity

Versamark ink

Gina K pure luxury cardstock

Gold cardstock

Gold embossing powder

Ribbon

Foam Dots
