I colored the image using Promakers and the hearts have got a coat of glossy accent to them.
The stitched panels with red and white DPs have been on my desk for about 6 months now, and I've tried it with different images, but just couldn't find the right one, until today. I stamped a Christmas greeting and added 3 red heart shaped sequins and voilà!

It works! I absolutely love the way you've positioned this image on the edge of the square - that stitching looks great. The stripes are reminiscent of candy cane and, with the sentiment, come Christmas no-one will know it was designed for Valentines.
