One of our customer's daughters is getting married soon. I was asked to hand-dye 350 yards of ribbon to tie on to the menu cards. And the color chosen just happened to be my favorite color of pink! As I began planning the process of dying this massive amount of ribbon, one of my friends sent me a gorgeous bouquet of flowers for my birthday. And it just happened to have the inspirational color! Stunning David Austin roses- my absolute favorite.
I knew that this was the perfect shade of pink -
Pretty good match - don't you think! Using an ivory color French seam binding, I used two colors of pink dye to get the multi-colored effect.
The roses are starting to wilt now, as it's been a week since my birthday. But I think they are lovelier as they begin to fade and gave me more inspiration to create that shabby chic pink.
390 yards later- all piled on the kitchen island- dried and ready to pack.
The mother of the bride purchased this rhinestone birdcage at our last sale.
I wonder how she will use it-
Yes- it the perfect shade of pink!
