Material Girl

This week has been a very wet week, last night the thunder rumbled overhead much of the night.  They are saying this is perfect tornado weather.  I am not so sure that perfect and tornado should actually be in the same sentence. 

Today I am off to the Royal NZ Ballets production of Swan Lake with my daughter.  We have not seen Swan Lake before so I am really looking forward to it.  Going to the ballet is such a girly treat and such a nice thing to do together.  My favourite is still Cinderella which we saw performed by the Russian Ballet Company but all the others come a close second.

So using the inspiration photo supplied by the Shabby Tea Room and thinking of the ballet I created this card.  The criteria was fabric and flowers.  I have a handmade flower as the centre piece and used some lace to drape in the background along with some roses and pearls, all those graceful girly things we love. The light is pretty awful today so apologies for the shadowing in the photo.
