Not quite what it seems

This is why you should take your pictures in daylight. I'm really annoyed with myself about this because I didn't leave enough time to get a photo during the day. 

I made this as a prize for my workshop - a Valentine's card and 5-10-15-20 box (click here for instructions) filled with red heart chocolates (Sainsbury's; I think they were 79p for about 10-12). The card is embellished with one of the chocolates, too. 

What you can't see is that I stamped the background of both the card and the box with large red hearts and small red flowers. Honest, I did! 

Stamps: Simply Said (p39)
Cardstock: Real Red, Basic Black, Whisper White

    Very impressive in this vibrant red! I can see a bit of the hearts on the background after enlarging the photo.
    Gorgeous!

    Very cute once again. I love the way you put the chocolate on there. I would have never thought about that :)
