For the Tea Party this week we are creating cards with Hats for the Derby.
You may think I have missed going to the Derby - but not so. These two little girls are heading to the beach where there is always a day of racing to be had too. Only this time - its seahorses racing. this is just so much better than being at a proper racing carnival.
I started out painting a background for my card. Added two palm trees and stamped the leaves with distress oxide ink and then coloured with a water colour brush. The two little girls were stamped, coloured and some doodled flowers added to their rather plain swimsuits. The girls were then fussy cut and edged with a black Tombow marker and position in the scene. I finished off my "grounding" the girls - so that they didn't appear to hover above the sand. Added some bling on their race day hats as well.
Hope you enjoy my version of a day at the races.

OH, Helen! I love this SO MUCH! What a spectacular beach scene with those cuties in their hats! It reminds me of my mother in law and her twin sister who have spent their whole lives at the beach every summer. So well done. Faved!
Aww! This is sure to add lots of smiles! Your coloring is gorgeous and makes me think of spending time with my sister even though we never went to a beach!

Wow, Helen, this is fantastic looking and I love your take on the challenge. Had to smile at the seahorse race. You are very creative! Your trees look amazing. Those girls are super cute!
