FMS#219





Hi, everyone!!!!


Not much time left to link my card at the Freshly Made Sketches challenge for the week!!!!!  This is the sketch:
 

I flipped it upside down and made this card:



The chevron paper is from a South African manufacturer - I don't know the name.
Flower die from MFT.
Leaves stamp and die from PTI.  The leaves are stamped with 'Field Day' dye ink from MFT - looks very dark in the photo, IRL it's a lovely green.
Wonky rectangular dies from Spellbinders.
The sentiment was kindly cut for me by the sweet Joyce Mehrberg from Cards-by-the-Sea.  Joyce cut and sent me a lot of words to play with!!!!  I am having so much fun using it and you will see a lot of it on my cards in future!!!  Thanks again, Joyce, I really appreciate it - there's a little something on it's way to you - apologies for being a bit late to send it!!!
Finished my card off with rhinestones.


Thanks for the visit - lovely having you here!!!!

Till next time!!!

You're back! Yay! I have missed seeing your gorgeous cards! Love the wonky shapes you've used here - I've had my eye on those dies for a while but haven't taken the plunge yet - I like how you made them into frames and then offset them. A very pretty card, Petra!

Thrilled to see this gorgeous card as one of the fave picks at FMS! Love the open frames overlapping paired with the sentiment die! Hope you're doing well! Have missed seeing your cardmaking projects in blog land! You may have been there but with my kitchen renovations and the holidays, I'm been running around in circles!
