A blogging friend of a lot of us, Anita (in
France), celebrated her birthday on 18 Feb, but nobody knew about it!! To set the matter right Bev and Darnell organized a surprize birthday party today to celebrate Anita's birthday. In the short time I have known Anita, I have come to know her as someone with a lovely sense of humour and a great talent for card making!!! She is a great CAS artist!! Her blog is always a joy to visit!!
I could not make up
my mind if I should do a true ‘Petra card’ with lots of layers and patterned
papers and flowers, or a CAS card seeing that you are a CAS lady, Anita. In the end I decided to use the
retrosketches#105 sketch and I tried to keep it CAS.
As all my French stamps were stolen last week (LOL!!) , I decided to go for an Afrikaans
sentiment, as Afrikaans is my home language and I thought that would make it a bit
more special!! The sentiment says: Juste pour vous! (By now you have to be impressed with my French,
hey!! LOL!!) 
I won’t keep you any longer, Anita, you probably have a lot
more blogs to visit!!
Profitez de la journée
Salutations et les voeux de l'Afrique du Sud
Petra
P.S. Luckily we’ve
got translators available on the net, hey!!!
(No way I can speak a word of French!!
LOL!! thank goodness I don’t
have to pronounce all of that!! LOL!!)
I don’t think anyone will forget your birthday again, Anita!! Next year we’ll be on time!!
Thanks to the lovely Bev and Darnell for making this a fun day for all of us!!!

Such a striking design, love your choice of papers and colours and I just know that Anita will love it too!
How very special indeed for a wonderful birthday card. Not sure I 'know' Anita...Love the bright pops of color against that white. Looks like you met both objectives: your layering style, but again, the CAS with the pristine white at the top of the card. That pretty red flower is just gorgeous. TFS & Hugs.
So fun to be at this awesome birthday bash with you. I love this card--It's just beautiful--I love that flower and those rows of patterns behind.
Gorgeous design Petra ... and a gorgeous card. Love the colors! Loll xx
So very lovely with fab design and gorgeous flower!
This is such a fabulous card and a great take on the sketch! Also like your backdrop!
Wow, Petra ... so much to say in such a small space! First, your card ... I so adore it ... such a fabulous colour palette, so beautifully layered and such wonderful white space! A fantastic combination of your stunning trademark style and the gorgeousness of CAS! Volgende, jou opdrag van die Franse ... so indrukwekkend! Ten slotte, vir jou wonderlike woorde en wens ... baie dankie ... jy het my verrassing party so spesiaal gemaak! (Ek gebruik vertaal te ... jammer as dit is nie heeltemal perfek!) Anita :)
Wow, this is a gorgeous card! I am loving your style. Love the colors on this card too. Hugs
What a fun card and super fun blog post!!! I love your red flower and the fun papers!
