I thought this technique challenge looked like fun. I made this card for my DH for ValentineÂ’s Day. It was fun to make and a pain! The tweezers really helped with putting the pieces on. I also used some of the tape backing when I needed to touch the image, which I think also helped to keep the tape sticky. I did learn that rhinestones will melt with a heat gun but are also easy to replace. LOL.
The grout was platinum EP as was the faux metal heart. The background paper was created by dragging ink pad across the paper. I hope you like it. Thanks for looking.

This is really beautiful - it really caught my eye because it's different and the colors and embellishments are perfect... I need to go check out this technique challenge now and see what I missed!
Fabulous work!

Wow!! Did you ever ACE this technique. I didn't even want to give it a try, but I just LOVE what you've done and every perfect little embellishment that you've topped it off with.
