This was a fun sketch challenge! I've used a shadow box technique, mounting the panel of dogs underneath it, to be seen through the cut out hearts. (The small upside down heart is hand drawn with a Versamark pen and silver embossed.) The silver bone tag hanging from the sentiment panel reads, *Dog Lover*. The top panel is embellished with large red heart shaped eyelets, although they are hard to see in the scan. I've used a combination of DPs and Polished Stone (without the metallic ink), just using pink and rose red. Then I sprayed it lightly with some hair spray to give it an additional mottled effect.

Hope you like it; thanks for looking, and Happy Valentines' Day!
