Hello and welcome to the World Languages Blog Hop where we are – not surprisingly – sharing projects featuring a language not our own. Sadly I don’t have an ear for languages, much to my children’s disgust when they had German or French homework. I have chosen to make a card with a German sentiment using the Inspirational Sketches stamp set.
Colours in this card are:
To recreate the German Inspirations card, you will need:
Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Basic Black card – 4⅛” by 3”
Berry Burst card – 4¼” by 3⅛”
Basic White card – 4⅜” by 3¼”
Scrap Basic Black card
Using Berry Burst ink, I randomly stamped the pretty floral image all over the panel of Basic White card.

I used the Mini Alphabet Dies to die cut the letters I needed from scrap Basic Black card. The word DANKE was added to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. If I had had my wits about me I would have added some Adhesive Sheet to the back of the scrap card .

The stamped panel was added to the Berry Burst layer using the same liquid glue.

A length of Black Baker’s Twine was wrapped around the panel and secured on the back with Sellotape. The whole piece was mounted onto the Basic Black layer with Dimensionals,

I stepped it up and made a stepped up version in French using Azure Afternoon. Which is your favourite?
