Its Derby fever here in my hometown... so this month at Gone Artsy we are doing Derby Themed Projects. Here I did a fun horseshoe banner perfect for a simple and fun Derby event. I cut the horseshoes shapes out using my Silhouette CAMEO die cutter. Next I altered the horseshoes using the Signature Champagne Glass Glitter Medley - GA641 and the Gold Fusion Glass Glitter - GA630. This stuff is so cool! I added in and cut apart some of the Butterfly Dangle Lace - GA280 cause of the fun dangle to add some character. Next I added some scrap pieces I had left over of the Off White Faux Pearl Garland Trim (GA294). The leaves and the pearl sprigs are from my stash. I embellished with one of the Real Feel 1.5" Soft Foam Ivory Roses Set of 12 (GA382) and two of the Real Feel 1.5" Soft Foam Pink Roses Set of 12 - GA380I used some of the jute cording from the Prima Marketing Gypsy Cord 5yd Analetta - GA903 to join each horseshoe together. Then I added scrapes in between each one with the May Arts Ribbon 2.5" Cotton Blend w/Vintage Inspired Rose Garden - GA364 and of the 5 yards of Seam Binding - Cameo Beige. Using my CAMEO I designed, printed and cut the WIN, PLACE & SHOW flags and added them in!


NOTE: Many of the scrapes and extras used on this project where from the Vintage Roses and Lace Purse Kit that you can also find in the the Gone Artsy Shop.

This month is all about the Kentucky Derby...
WHOOP WHOOP... I am super excited cause this happens right here in my hometown!
The one thing ya think of when you here Kentucky  Derby, besides the horses are the fabulous and wacky hats... yes we see some very strange one...lol!
Being from here we also see a lot of Derby themed weddings.
Folks take this opportunity to REALLY celebrate on the first Saturday in May!
For my project today I done a Fascinator... GREAT for someone who really isn't into wearing a huge hat, but wantes to be apart of that Derby experience... or great if you are a guest attending a Derby Wedding... in addition to a great head piece for the bridal party.

With Henrietta's help here... that's my Styrofoam heads name... hehehehe...
I used a shoulder pad for the base... 
that's right... if you held onto those 80's shoulder pads...
 where here is a great way to use them!
I covered it using the foofy flowers from the 
Deep Ivory Lace and Chiffon Flower Collar - GA700... saving the beautiful lace for another project.


Next I added in both the Two Toned Curly Nagorie Goose Feather Pad - Ivory/Brown (GA103) and the Champagne Ostrich Feather Trim (GA151). I also attached in some netting that I saved.. it had marbles in it. I just played with it and moved it about till I had it where I wanted it. then I added the beautiful  Pearl and Rhinestone Embellishment (GA113). I had taken apart a Five Row Pearl and Rhinestone Stretch Bracelet (GA218) sometime ago for another project and saved the left over pearls and rhinestones for future projects. Well, I decided to place some of the pearls randomly on the foofy flowers from the collar.


Then I attached one of Large Clear Hair Combs - Set of 2 (GA216) to the back.
You could also use the Silver Toned DIY Headband (GA213) or the Gold Toned DIY Headbands (GA212)... if you prefer a barrette... no worries... you can also find Silver Toned DIY Barrettes - Set of 2 (GA215) in the shop!!
