I don't usually drink hot drinks (coffee, tea, etc.), but if I do, hot chocolate is definitely my go to. So, I made this Valentine's Day card for my husband. 'Cause, really, hot chocolate needs marshmallows, right?
Almost everything on this card is made from scraps. The patterned paper was a scrap, the mug and cut out marshmallows were stamped and cut from scrap card stock and the sentiment strips and the yellow piece were in my bits and pieces stash.I popped up the mug and a few of the marshmallows with some foam tape and it really adds to the illusion that the marshmallows are falling through the air.
