Howdy Crafters - I did some Masking on this Winter Theme Card using a SU Tree Stamp for the background and a Digital by Freshly Brewed - this is my first time trying out a digital with a Masking background. This Winter card could be used for a holiday theme such as Christmas or Thanksgiving by adding a greeting inside. My sweet treat at home is my homemade Hazelnut Mocha Coffee recipe - YUM - I used to only use regular coffee or decaf and I tried it out with Hazelnut Coffee and oh my - it is soooo good!
Here is my recipe if you wish to give it a try:
1 Cup of Non-GMO Almond unsweetened Vanilla Milk
I Tablespoon Cocoa [Hershey Cocoa works]
1 Envelope of Stevia - this is the small size package
Heat on Stove
Add 1 Cup of Hazelnut Coffee from the Keurig - [or add 1 cup of Hazelnut or regular or decaf coffee from your coffee pot]
Stir and enjoy - YUM!
[For added calories - Ha! Ha! Add some whipped cream on top]
BTW I keep my 2 cups of coffee in a heated steel mug and pour out into my coffee cup as I like my coffee hot!!

The masking looks good. Had a cup of tea this morn with Pumpkin Spice flavor creamer in it. Hubby & I tried a new place, well not exactly new, the place had a different name, Egg & I, before and was renamed recently to First Watch with same ownership. Menu is not as varied but food & service still good.

What a great card! I love how you have the Bible and mug in the middle of the scene - very thought-provoking. Great ideas here. Thanks for entering the DRS Designs Challenge! Hugz
ReplyDeleteGreat masking on this beauty! I agree with Nancy, very thought provoking to have the Bible in the center of it all - exactly where Jesus should be in our life!
