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 absolutely STUNNING. *for future reference, you can get some swarovski crystal rhinestones at a craft store in the jewelry section, and they won't melt They go on sale all the time, I never pay full price for them, and certainly a work of art like this is worth using crystals on!

This is so great - you did a wonderful job. I didn't even know this technique existed but I have got to try it after seeing your wonderful card.
