Hi everyone!!!!
Oh, boy, have I had a hectic time since Sunday!!! Taking care of my DMIL who has an infected wrist which means doctors, x-rays and more doctors, plus the boys having lots of extra activities at school and else ware, has had me running around like mad!!!! Tomorrow is still going to be a busy day, but hopefully towards the end of the week things will calm down!!!! This morning I was lucky enough to have some time to just lie on the bed and rest and then I decided that there is nothing better to recharge the batteries than spending time at my craft table!!!!
It's been ages since I last joined in the fun over at the Pals Paper Arts Blog!!!! Not much time left to link my card!!!!! This is the sketch:
I've turned the sketch on it's side and made this card:
I've watercoloured some cs to make the flower. Die from MFT.
Leaves stamp and die from PTI.
The die cut tag and word were gifts from two very sweet fiends, Michele, from I card Everyone, and Hazel, from My card Attic!!!! The enamel dots are also from Hazel!!!
The glitter paper is a lovely dark grey.
In between having to run around I'm going to do my best to get to everybody and leave some luv along the way!!!! I will be popping in at everyone, hopefully within a day or two!!!!
Have to be off to attend to supper!!!!! Thanks so much for popping in!!!

A fabulous bright pink fower on that stitched tag and the 'friend' die stands out beautifully against the black, also think the black circle behind the flower does the same. How kind of Hazel and Michelle to give you those lovely dies and you have made the best use of them with this beautiful card! So sorry your MIL has been having problems and hope that she is soon on the mend. x
wow... sounds like you have been one busy little bee, petra!! glad you were able to take some time for yourself and create this gorgeous card!! hugs!!

Always love the way you've interpreted the current sketch, and again, you've got a wonderful layout. Love the black & white, and adding in the pop of hot pink. It's just gorgeous...as usual! Hope the photography is coming along great too. Hope that your MIL soon mends...all this is keeping you pretty busy I should think. TFS & Hugs

Hi, Petra! Beautiful card design! I especially like that fun "friend " die cut in front of the black panel! Makes your card come alive. Gorgeous card, as always! Hugs, de
Hi Petra! Your card is beautiful - so refreshing! And I love your very pretty water colored flowers! A big thank you for your sweet welcoming message on my blog, and thank you to Hannelie for sending you my link. As you say this is a wonderful community. I was so excited when I saw you name, I knew of course you are a SA girl! Ek kan Afrikaans praat but my Afrix spelling is probably atrocious ...lol! Enjoy the rest of your week and look forward to lekker gesels :) Hugs, Zelda!
Fantastic card Petra. Love the stitched edge tag with the sweet flower... the die-cut word looks great with the little for you piece... great lay-out and elements.
It is amazing how your cards are always so different. I never tire of your artistic abilities. Gorgeous flower. Bright and cheerful card.
Hugs and Blessings

Love how you rotated the sketch on this one. Love the tag, and that gorgeous pink flower.
Goodness, Petra...talk about being busy! Your energy and compassion are so inspiring, although I know you're exhausted. Hopefully, your DMIL's wrist is on the mend; sounds painful!

Another beauty Petra.. I saw this sketch when it came out and couldn't think of a single thing to do with it.. Well look at this amazing take on the sketch.. So creative and so well done.. Your spatterings of jewels and pearls are tastefully done and the pink flower pops (quite literally) off the card just gorgeous.
