When I entered my post title, I thought I should probably explain to my English readers what it means, to give meaning to the card.
So strange that some words are just difficult to translate using a single word, this is one of those...
I guess the best way to explain, is to say it could be described as an encouraging word you would say to someone going through a tough time, for instance someone who lost a dear one. Just to say that you are thinking of him/her...and to be strong!
I am sure my Dutch friends will understand it too!
Enough of my language lesson for today ;)
On to my card!
I used cork to add texture.
This card came together in a wink with the fabulous inspiration provided by the following challenges:
Simply less is more ~ Recipe (use a die)
Retro sketches ~ Sketch #116
Addicted to cas ~ Texture
Dutch card lovers ~ Colors... Kraft, white and any other one color (Marjan's card really inspired me... thanks Marjan!)
Thanks so my for visiting me today!
