This week Make it Crafty is sponsoring a fabulous new Aussie challenge blog called The Squirrel and The Fox - named after the co-founders - friends Tracey (A Crafty Fox) and Linda (Squirrel Snippets). The girls like to base their challenges around things Australian which is great for an Aussie gal like me - LOL.
The theme for this challenge is "Hat's or Flowers" and relates back to the Melbourne Cup - a famous horse race based in my home town and running this coming Tuesday. The horses often run second fiddle to the Fashion on the Field and the amazing array of hats on display though. The roses at Flemington Racecourse are always spectacular on race day too so they HAD to play a part in my scene. I've used 3 different images from Make it Crafty - Chantelle at the Races has been specially designed for Cup Day with the hat being all important. I believe orange is an IN colour at the races this year so I gave Chantelle an orange outfit. I've combined her with Zoe's Rose Garden (fountain removed) and Pebblestone Patch.
The DP is actually from one of my Halloween pads but I love the fact that the diamond shapes are reminiscent of jockey silks - adding to the race day feel along with the pearls and lace.
Copics used - E11, E00, E000, R20, R11, E44, E43, E42, E41, E40, C8, C5, C4, C2, 100, Y15, Y11, Y02, B05, B0000, E08, R08, W3, W2, W1, W00, YG67. YG63, YG61, YR23, YR07, YR04, YR02, YR00, YR000, YR0000

Wow! What a fabulous amount of thought went into this card. I am sure that this pretty little filly could win Star of the Day (provided she keeps put of the Melbourne rain). Love the card! x
