Enjoy The (Valentine) Rhythm Twisted Easel Card

Happy Valentine's Day to you... with a quick share today of something I made earlier especially for the occasion...

I bought these Lindor heart chocolates with Valentine's Day in mind... and had plans to feature them on a lovely multi-sized treat box(es) arrangement... along with a separate card... but time was not on my side... so the card and treat were combined... 

And here you go... a simple Twisted Easel Card (aka Diagonal Easel Card) ... very simple... score a square card blank... then score across the diagonal (eg bottom left corner to top right corner) on the top face...

Featuring the lovely new Enjoy The Rhythm stamp set, Perfectly Pencilled papers and the retired A Wish For Everything stamp set and Sweet & Sassy dies

Spot the added features...

- drum kit image cut in half to allow for the Lindor Heart as the main drum...

- Die cut heart added over the cut line before the chocolate... so that the card is still neat after the chocolate is pulled off and wolfed down

- Poppy Parade and Grey Granite Stampin Blends colouring on the drum image and the papers to add a pop of colour...

By The Bay... I am a Rock...

Hope you are singing away to the "I am a Rock" song by Simon & Garfunkel by now!!! I certainly am...

So I mentioned yesterday that I did not see the sea shell in the small image in the By The Bay stamp set (Yours for Free with a £45 order during the Sale A Bration promotion!)

So the only thing I could think of was a rock aka an island!! Hence this card with an extended sea scape off to the right... I just hand drew the horizon extension using the thin end of the Basic Grey marker pen... Birds added care of High Tide...

Oh...and this time I used a Rectangle Stitched die cut Thick Whisper White rectangle I had lying around... so AquaPainter watercolouring was not an option... so I sponged all my background colour instead... and used the Blender Pen to take ink off ink pad lids for the detail parts...

I have now (unfortunately!) seen another use for the image... but I daren't share as it is one of those "you will never get it out of your head" .... a definite spoiler!
