Hi everyone!!!!
I had a very busy week last week, but tomorrow the boys are back at school so I will hopefully have more time to spend at the computer and at my craft table!!!!! I did have a spare hour or two last week to make a card for the Freshly Made Sketches challenge and this morning I made a card for contest week over at the Mojo Monday Blog!!!!!
The card for FMS:
The piece of patterned paper is from Kaisercraft and I've got a vellum overlay.
Gerbera die from MFT. Leaves stamp and die from PTI.
I love my new glitter paper!!!
And the Mojo Monday card:
Patterned papers from MME and Fabscraps.
Gerbera and flourish dies from MFT.
Chevrons cut with Tim Holtz die.
I finished the throw I was knitting, over the weekend!!!! I will share some photo's as soon as I have done all the tassels!!!! I am also busy with a photography course for manual photography and I will share some of those photo's too!!!!
The next episode of Survivor, Blood vs Water will be starting in an hours' time and we will be watching that - we are Survivor fans!!!!
Till next time!!!
Absoluut pragtig Petra. Mal oor die neutrale kleure.

You are so talented Petra ! Not to mention very busy ;) Fabulous cards, and great use of vellum. I love the card.
ReplyDeleteO Petra....your work is glorious! These cards are gorgeous......so glad you shared one with us at FMS!
ReplyDeleteTwo beauties, Petra! Clean, crisp, and full of interest. Love the blooms you've used on both of them, and the black really draws the eye into your design. I think you've got a couple of winners here. Absolutely striking. Love these!! Can't wait to see the photos of your throw. My mother, bless her heart, gave up on teaching me how to knit; I just couldn't get the hang of it, lol! So I'll admire your talent! Bev
ReplyDeleteHet zijn weer twee prachtige kaarten met mooie gerbera's en glitterpapier!! Ik ben benieuwd naar je throw en de resultaten van de fotocursus!!

Oh wat prachtig! Wat een mooie kaartjes heb je gemaakt. Het zal wel weer anders worden nu de jongens weer naar school zijn. Terug in het normale ritme...
ReplyDeleteLieve groetjes,

wow, wow, wow!!! two absolutely gorgeous cards, petra!! I always love seeing how you take a sketch and make it your own!!
ReplyDeletevery pretty!
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous cards Petra! I love all of the layers! That flower is beautiful and I love all of the embellishments! So pretty! Thanks for joining us this week at Freshly Made Sketches!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back Petra my dear friend! I missed you! You really do like to keep busy, don't you? Photography now too (I used to do a lot of photography back in the days of 35mm film, I've even photographed weddings), now all those thousands of pounds worth of camera gear is worth nothing - thanks to digital, nobody wants it - very sad when that happens . . . but I digress! fabulous cards as ever from you my friend!! I love your talent for CAS layering!! Have a wonderful week and I can't wait to see your photographs! Hazel xx

ReplyDeleteCreatieve groetjes, Gaby
Both stunners as always Petra!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards, Petra! I especially like the way your tag in the top card has been layered with other papers and "see thru" elements! Beautiful! Will you do another craft fair this year? hugs, de
ReplyDeleteAwesome couple of cards -- love that mojo one the best!
ReplyDeleteLovely cards Petra. Love the pretty layered flower as the focal point. Your layering is amazing as usual. I also love the somewhat black & white look... very classy. Fantastic designs.
ReplyDeleteThese are both clean and crisp and designed perfectly, Petra! You leave us all in awe every time!! Enjoy your day!! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteLove both cards. They are your signature style interpreting the sketches.
ReplyDeleteTwo gorgeous cards that really draw in the eye. Karen x
ReplyDeleteThese are so pretty! Love all the black accents. Thanks for joining us over at Mojo Monday!
ReplyDeleteThese are simply amazing cards! They are so detailed, so classy, so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteTwo more great sketch interpretations Petra. Those pretty Gerberas look wonderful on both and the use of the twine on the first and that lovely flourish on the second, and some interesting patterned papers. I also love that vellum and the glitter paper too, and your enamel dots always look so elegant. x
ReplyDeleteOH, Petra, what beautiful cards.
ReplyDeleteFabulous take on the sketches.
When I first saw you put these two sketches together I was a bit perplexed. Until I took another look and then I thought GENIUS! Minus a few details these sketches are very similar. Love this card Petra. So full of detail without being too busy.. you are the master..
ReplyDeleteYou are one busy, talented lady! Anxious to see your finished throw, but in the meantime, I'll ohh and ahh at your gorgeous cards! Thanks for joining us at Mojo Monday!
ReplyDeleteA duo of deliciousness, Petra ... such gorgeous layering ... the vellum and shimmer are fabulous ... I especially love that herringbone die cut detail ... graphic and delicate at the same time! Hugs, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful in each card, and love the way you've changed up the design, keeping to the similar shades of colors. Like the swirling leaves on #1, and especially the way you've used the vellum. The diagonal shape of the 'tiles' 'in the die embellie works to add even more interest & texture. You have multiple layers on each pretty card, yet still convey such a feeling of airiness & light. TFS & Hugs
ReplyDeleteYour cards are always such a joy to see Petra! Each layer has a story to tell and your eye for design is amazing. I love to pop on over here to be amazed at your creativity!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cards! Can't wait to see your throw, too.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards Peta. Love the colors and design of each one. Love the vellum overlay on the tag on your first card.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards Petra! Love the blossoms! Can't wait to see your throw!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, Petra!!! You take a strand of twine and turn it into a flourish ... and a flourish and turn it into the final Ta Da!!! Every detail and element is a charm!
ReplyDelete=]
