I have 2 very special friends who share the same name:
ANITA :)
Today I am sharing a card I made for one of them.
Blogfriends will know her as Anita ( in France).
She shares her beautiful creations on her blog : My papercraft world !
Anita celebrated her birthday on the 18th of February... but boy February was so short, it went by before we could celebrate it properly!
Because Anita surprises me from time to time with a little comment in Afrikaans... I made her a card with a sentiment in Afrikaans! It says : To someone special! Your first Afrikaans birthday card friend!
Sorry it's late Anita... but really hope it's a BIG surprise!
If you want to share a card for Anita's birthday, you are welcome to link up HERE at Darnell's blog.
I will also link my card up at this week's challenge at Less is more, where Chrissie and Jen want to see some cards using a stencil or a mask.
I used a little stencil I bought AGES ago and which saw ink today for the first time. The stripes on the card base were also masked using low tack masking tape from Martha Steward.
This week I am also playing at the Fusion card challenge. I used the sketch as well as the inspiration picture.
Thanks Anita... for always inspiring me with your beautiful work and kind words.
... and hugs to my other far away Anita friend... in South-Africa, who never misses any of my blog posts!
Love you both!
Thanks for visiting me today!

So gorgeous Hannelie. I love the delicate floral stamps and the colours you have used. Anita will be delighted I am sure.
Heel mooi is de combinatie van fris wit, de strepen en de mooie stempel! Je vriendin is er vast heel blij mee!
Hannalie, your stencil is amazing. I love the gorgeous cheery color palette. So glad you could play along with us at Fusion!
Oooo, vrou, Anita gaan net so mal wees oor hierdie skepping soos ek!!! Dit is eenvoudig pragtig!! Ek's mal oor daai blommetjies wat so perfek gedoen is en die strepe is so lieflik gepas op die basis van die kaartjie!! En toe kies ons albei Afr vir ons sentiment!! (wat se hulle nou weer van 'Great minds'??) Ek hou van die sentiment so op die banner - dit lyk baie mooi!!(O, my Afr, suster!!!!)
Alweer puik van jou kant af, vrou!!
Groete.
Dis lekker opwindend ne, wonder wanneer gaan sy dit ontdek!!
Oh Hannelie, this is so beautiful! She will find so much delight in this card! Springtime colors and flowers, lots of white space, stripes... this is just her style with your special touches all over it. Anita will love this as much as I do. Really gorgeous. Just love it. Bev
