Made a card last night to link at the CAS(E) this Sketch Challenge!!!! The sketch:
and my card:
Used my Tim Holtz chevron die to cut a stencil.
Sentiment stamp from a local craft shop, Great Impressions.
Added some dots with a white gel pen.
I made another card, using a different sentiment:
Sentiment stamp from PTI.
The sponging I've done with Worn Lipstick and Spiced Marmalade DIs. I've seen a card by the talented Loll Thompson, on her blog, Stamping with Loll, where she had used these two colours together and I loved it!!! So credit for the colours I have worked with, goes to Loll - thanks Loll!!!
That's it for now!!! Thanks for popping in - your visits and comments are appreciated so much!!!

Simply stunning and stunningly simple Petra dear friend! Have a wonderful day! I'm off to meet up with the lovely Darnell Knauss today ... I'm really excited, I've never met one of my 'blogging buddies IRL before'. I'd be over the moon to meet you (perhaps one day eh?) Hazel xx

Hoi Petra,
Wat heb je een weer een supermooi kaart gemaakt. Vellum geeft altijd een mooi effect op een kaart.
De teksten in zwart vallen mooi op, en het is een heel goed gebruik van de sketch.
Groetjes,

Often times the simplest sketches can be the most difficult, Petra - I LOve how you've created your own stencil, and took your cue from a blogging friend for color combinations ... Loll will love that, too. Awesome cards! Thanks for playing cards with CTS this week! xx

So fabulous! Love the partial vellum strip -- You wintery background sky looks daunting too :)
Fantastic cards Petra. Love the delicious colors. Great sponging... the white dots look wonderful. I also love the vellum!
Fabulous cards Petra, perfect sponging, I so can't do it no matter how much I try. The vellum is perfect for these cards so we don't miss this gorgeous chevron pattern, hope you are well xx
Petra, beautiful takes on the sketch.
I love the pretty colors.
That a fantastic way to use this sketch Petra! Love the beautiful colours through your die-cut stencil. Gorgeous with the vellum banner. Thanks for the shout out! xx
So bly jy het nie daai pragtige agtergrond weggesteek nie!
Dis fantasies Petra!
Beautiful card, Petra! The background is so dramatic and the white gel pen dots add such a fun look.
I love your CAS take with this amazing border. I have it too, but would never have thought to use it in this way. Brilliant! Big hugs, Autumn
Pragtig Petra. Hou van die herfskleure.
Warm bly daar, van 'n ysige Johannesburg.

Petra, it's simple beautiful and I love the bellum overlay! Great idea and design sweet girl! Looks beautiful out in SA!
You are right about the colour combination Petra, so fiery and hot and the white chevrons stand out beautifully and I love the large sentiments and the way you have stapled the vellum to the card. x
Petra, this is GORGEOUS! I LOVE the bold colors you used! Super fun! Thank you for all the kind comments--they have been keeping me going, friend. Sending HUGS! :) Mynn xx
This is one of the prettiest cards I've seen using this chevron die. Loved the colors (Loll is a terrific inspiration!) and liked the extra dots decorating the patterns. Looks wonderful with the vellum overlay sentiments, and while I like both, my fav must be #2 - as I love calligraphy fonts. TFS & Hugs.
Petra, I love the stenciled layers. That is a really cool stencil! The sentiments on velum look fabulous!!! I stamped on vellum yesterday and loved how it looked but it didn't work with my project so I need to search for a new project!!! :)
WOW! Now this is exactly what 'being creative' is all about! Totally admire your resourcefulness in creating your own stencil. Gorgeous shading! The velum with the embossed sentiments ROCKS!!! I am so calling WINNER, WINNER with these beauties!!!
Hello, Petra! These are so pretty! I LOVE these colours - especially the second card! I will have to remember these colour combos and try them! Beautiful stencil inking and I love the vellum sentiment overlays!
Am loving that chevron die...looks great in these warm colors!
Wat een mooie warme kleuren die twee inkten bij elkaar Petra, prachtig. Heel leuk om de sketch op deze manier uit te werken, de gestempelde tekst op het vellum komt heel mooi uit.
Lieve groetjes Miranda
Wonderful cards Petra! The sponged detail looks outstanding!
Love both cards Petra. Clever to use the die and I also like those colours....Keep warm, hugs, Ursula
CAS and stunning. Karen x
That exposed stapling adds so much whimsy to your designs. It's amazing how one little element can set the whole thing off!
Beautifully done Petra! I love the sponged chevrons and the sentiment on vellum is awesome!
How pretty these are, Petra! Beautiful background and a wonderful use of vellum and staples! Hugs, de
Sjoe dis pragtig Petra! Ek hou van die lieflike ontwerp en kleure.
