Lattice Card

Good afternoon friends,
Happy Monday..hope the week has startd off wonderfully for you. Today no DT card, but just one that I made a while ago for a class, but had a problem with the photo, so here it is now


I originally saw this card on someone's blog and loved it. I later found it on  Valita's Designs and Fresh folds, where she has a video showing in detail how to do it.. It is actually quite easy to do.
The flowers I made myself, using coffee filter papers and Marianne Design dies of different sizes. Great fun to do.
Sentiment stamped on an X-cut label and finished off with pearls

I am going to enter this in the following challenges:.
The Crafty Bloggers Network..Anything goes
Crafty Cardmakers#71..Make your own flowers
Make it Monday..Anything goes
Victorine Stamps Challenge#37..Happy Birthday

Wishing you a great week, I willbe back tomorrow with a DT card, till then take care and have fun.

Spring is in the air

Happy Sunday friends,
Firstly I would like to say that my thoughts and prayers are with all my friends on the east coast of America, as "Irene" has been making its way. Hope you are all safe and that any damage will not be too severe where you are.
Next I would also like to welcome new followers to my blog. Lovely to have you visiting and do appreciate your comments.
Yes here in South Africa spring is in the air, although today has been rather cool and cloudy, but the trees are blossoming and the lovely early scented flowers are starting, the daffodils are opening, so if we can get some early rains that would just be the ideal prize.

I must apologise. The colours, especially of the flowers haven't come out as they should. We did have a rather dull day, Sorry for this.
