I really like this image! I have had it for a while but was nervous about trying to color it.  This year my other self-challenge is to, despite my lack of skill, color as many images as possible.  

I originally wanted "snow" as the background.  I could not find my snow stencil anywhere.  Five seconds after I applied the paste to the hearts, the first thing I put my hand on was my snow stencil.  I  think hearts are better.  I added Stickles to the hearts and her cuffs for a little extra glitter and glam
I rarely decorate the interior of my cards. But true to my goal, I used leftover papers to create the frame and sentiment.
I will be looking for your entries at
SOS
Happy Crafting!
