Here’s the card I sent to my other half today. Gosh, it’s hard to do a masculine valentines card when hearts and flowers all things frilly immediately come to mind isn’t it?

I made a circle card by using the largest circle die in my spellbinders set and positioning it so it overhangs the fold in the card slightly. I typed the sentiment onto some white card stock leaving a suitable gap for my topper which is a mini king of hearts playing card from a pack that I had in one of my Christmas crackers this year, this is why I never throw anything away as you never know when it might come in handy.

I wanted to play with my new prismacolor pencils so I decided to use a silhouette flower stamp and create 3 different skies for 3 different times of day: midday, sunset and twilight. I stamped the flowers onto some white card stock and roughly coloured over the area with varying shades of pencils, I dipped a cottonbud into the sansodor and swiped it across the image sideways blending the pencils.
