The first thing that came to my mind was The Races - Cheltenham and Ascot. Ladies dressed in hats and all dolled up to the nines.Well I haven't included horses but I really liked this scene of Ladies (and Nanny with the children of course ) strolling in the Park in their best gowns and the Pooch groomed and prettied for his stroll too.
Not a brilliant photograph but there is no doubt that my design is monochromatic. I have used white,black and silver.The base card is a white 8"x 8" square card and I have used black Bazzill card for the matting.
I made the Butterfly background paper by stamping and heat embossing in Silver. I can't remember where I got the stamp and I have never used it before but I thought it stamped very well. The white scalloped mat was cut on my Silhouette.The black and white stripe paper is from Papermania Monochromatic Collection as was the Butterfly and flowers. The silver ribbon was from my stash. The image is a Freebie from Clearly Vintage and I added Glamour Dust to the bodice of her dress and a little to her face veil. I made the frame with a Spellbinders Frameabilities in a silver pearlescent card from stash and finally I added a Mother's Day sentiment.
