What a beautiful day it has been today, lots and lots of sunshine and comfortably warm. Today is a very special day for the ladies of Doncaster. Today is Ladies Day at the very famous St Leger races, the oldest flat race in the world. The ladies always get very dressed up for this event and a hat is an absolute must. I live near the racecourse so get to see quite a few passing by. I usually go, but not this year......baby sitting ! Ah well ,I will be there next year hopefully. Always have a bet, never know what I am betting on, but the name of the horse sounds good.
So today is a pretty romantic style, Shabby Chic with roses. I used the always lovely Spellbinder dies to use on this card, Fleur de Elegance. My background card that you can just see peeping through is from Lemoncraft, another of my favourites !
I wanted quite a pale pink for the roses, so used white ones and misted just a little bit with a pink spray on some and a very light green and pink on the others. Was really pleased with the result.
I distress the edges of the rose leaves and scrunched them up a bit to give a little more natural look.
My lovely dried ivory gypsophila adds to the finishing touch.....romantic !
