I really love how the hearts pop out against the black & white; it makes a great contrast, and the glitter really adds that nice amount of texture and dimension! Nice work! You should try entering that project in the Valentine's Day Challenge! Should you do so, I'll wish you the best of luck!

So cute! Do you have problems with any of the glitter flaking off onto anything?

[Mark Montano]

Nope, the gloss Americana Decoupage keeps it in place. It's good stuff and it's not sticky when it dries like Mod Podge.
