German Phrase of the Day: Rufst du mich an? = Will you call me? As for pronunciation, I am TERRIBLE at my German ch's. It's not really a soft ch sound like the English children, nor is it a hard ch/k sound as in the English Christmas, it's somewhere in between with a little something extra from the throat thrown in. My daughter can make the sound correctly. I, however, can not. Fortunately, if I use the softer ch sound, most people understand me, which is good.
So, my stamp room isn't totally clean yet, but I did get my desk cleared off pretty well, so I decided I could treat myself and make one quickie card for you all. Since I had this already stamped Dryabella from Stephanie, I decided to use her, and some more of my Die Cuts With a View paper.
I colored her in with markers, because I had to be quick. However, she did need a rug to stand on, so I had to make a quick mask for those shapely legs of hers. Hard to do when you don't have the stamp, but not impossible! Then, I clipped her corners, matted her on Lavender Lace (it was a handy scrap - and it even matches the paper!) and then added the hardware. I was going to use some more May Arts ribbon, but I had to move my Ribbon Originals to get to it, and I decided this stitched ribbon would look nice with the stripes.
I really love these quickies!! ;-)

Great job on the card/mask...Here's my question.
ReplyDeleteDoes the German language capitalize every noun? My DH said it did and I said that I'd go find out for sure. Thanks!
this is GREAT! What a fun card! I swear every bella thing I've seen is just the cutest thing ever.... I may have to break down and buy one or two. AHHH!!!
ReplyDeleteDarling card and love the colors!
ReplyDeleteI love seeing the combo of stamped, colored images and print scrapbook paper. I'm holding a card class at the local assisted living, and the use of scrapbook paper can make simple cards so much more lively with less effort.
