Merry Mondays







 This first one is a better picture but look closely and see what I forgot to add: 
My Dark Chocolate tree trunk from Lil Inkers tree. 



Good morning ! 

I want to take a min. and thank you all for your sweet comments. I am very grateful for each and every one of you.

I loved the inspiration photo with the deep red and dark chocolate. For this card…. at first... I used the stacked coffee cups then a different tree.  Then changed it all up again. 

The red and white polka dot is washi tape on cardstock then I made my cuts. The tree is from Papertrey Ink, the stars are from WPlus9,  sentiment is from PTI , frame and tree trunk are from Lil Inkers Design and embossing folder Cuttlegug. ( I don't think they make it anymore.)

Thank You!

  24. This is a charming card, Marybeth. I'm sure the early versions of it were also cute, though. Thanks for the reminder to use washi tape. It looks great as your polka dot.

    I think that I'm caught up with comments. I'll probably be behind again tomorrow since you are so prolific. ;-)
