Dominoes:
*Use 3 Square Dominoes.  Apply Alcohol Inks in Reds and Pinks to the dominoes with a piece of felt or felt applicator.  Allow to dry. 

*Smear clear or holographic glitter glue around the edges of each domino.  Allow to dry.

Photo Copies:
*Print out copies of 3 of your favorite photos onto Matte Photo Paper.  Allow to dry completely.  Tear around picture to fit onto the dominoes.  (Trim to fit inside the domino to show the Alcohol Ink and Glitter Glue edging) 

*Distress or edge your photos with Gold Mica Magic Inkpad.

*Using Gel Medium, Perfect Paper Adhesive or your favorite craft glue, affix one photo to each of your dominoes.  Allow to dry completely.

Frame:
*Pick a rectangular black frame the size you desire. 

*Cut Glossy Gold Cardstock to fit frame.  Put the glossy cardstock into the frame. (like you would a photo.)  Secure back of frame.

*Using your felt applicator, pounce Alcohol Inks in Reds and Pinks on TOP of the glass.  When you have 1/2 of the glass covered, sprinkle a small amount of Gold Mica Powder (Pearl Ex or Cosmetic Grade Powder) over the inks.  Re-ink your felt applicator and pounce over the mica powder and cover the glass completely.  Using the SAME FELT PAD, pounce over the black frame.  Re-ink and/or add blending solution if desired.  Cover the frame to your liking.  Allow to dry completely.

*Using 3D Gold Glitter Glue, outline the glass. (Right up next to the frame)  Smoosh and push the glue into desired pattern.  Allow to dry completely!

*Carefully stamp the glass with Heart with Dots Stamp (unknown company) with Blazing Red Staz-on Inkpad.  Allow to dry.

*Stamp Swirly Hearts (ERA Graphics) on the glass with Gold Acrylic Paint.  Over stamp red hearts if desired.  Allow to dry completely.

*Using Gold Krylon Leafing Pen, hand draw hearts randomly over the glass.  Write the word “Love” in the upper left corner at a diagonal.  Write the word “Cherish” in the lower right corner straight across the bottom.  Allow to dry.

Putting it all Together!:
*Affix your dominoes to the front of the glass using Gorilla Glue or other adhesive suitable for gluing plastic to glass.  Use your favorite craft glue to affix red, gold, burgundy, and pink buttons around your frame as desired.  Allow to dry.
