I was inspired by this week’s Mojo Monday sketch to make this card for a Belgian friend of mine. The Dutch sentiment was only partially stamped on the front of the card; the second part of the sentiment was stamped on the inside. Rough translation of the entire stamp: “A friend is one of the nicest things you can have, and one of the best things you can be.”
Thanks for stopping by!
