Looking at my post title and wondering: "What is she talking about?!"
Moeder is Afrikaans for MOTHER! It's a more traditional form of the word, and sometimes I just love to call my mom that, instead of the more generally used 'mamma'. It has it's roots from our Dutch ancestors.
So now that's it for our language lesson ... on to my card that as you know by now is for my mother, of course for Mother's day coming up!
I am entering my card at the following challenges:
Virginias view challenge ~ Stitching

ReplyDeleteDaar is 'n pragtige landelike gevoel aan hierdie soet harte, Hannelie ... ideaal vir Moedersdag! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteHope that's a good translation!!
This is such a unique card, Hannelie. When you said Dutch heritage this reminded me of some of the Pennsylvania Dutch things I've seen. Your moeder will love it.

ReplyDeleteAs always, Hannelie...your card is so perfectly executed! I love how you layered the hearts and how beautiful the red and gingham pattern complement the Kraft background! Such a pretty Mother's Day card!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a sweet card for Mother's Day. I love the kraft background and that blue gingham heart is as sweet as they come.
ReplyDeleteThis is such an awesome design. Love the gingham with the red and kraft :)
ReplyDeleteGingham, kraft cardstock, a trio of hearts and a twine bow...I adore the folk art/country charm!
ReplyDeleteYour Moeder is going to love this :)

O, vrou, jou Ma gaan sekerlik mal wees hieroor!!!
ReplyDeleteEk's mal oor jou gebruik van die kraft met die blou, wit en rooi. Die fyn gaatjies in die vorm van die hart is pragtig en die fyn stekies op die rooi is so oulik!! Die strik is perfek en ek hou daarvan dat jy die sentiment so eenvoudig gehou het. Pragtig afgerond met die rooi perels. Hou daarvan dat jy die hartjies op 'n aparte laag gesit het met foam tape om dit ekstra dimensie te gee. Pragtige skepping!!
Groete.
Nou gaan ek gou daai tee maak, die ketel het gekook en ek het heerlik by jou gekuier!!!
Oh yes, I am familiar with that word! Same roots as you, Hannelie! I.LOVE.THIS.CARD!! I am certain that your Moeder will too! Xx
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely!! I love the bow and the colors you used against the kraft background. Stunning card!! Happy Mother's Day!!
ReplyDeletethis heart is too cute!
