Paint your wood plaque white for the base and paint the sides of the plaque in pink.
While drying, start cutting out your heart template using just some scrap paper. Then use that template to cut out the cardboard heart, painting it a gold metallic color.
Using masking tape, block off the background creating a stripped pattern. Paint the white sections in black.
After the black paint is dry, add some mod podge and our diamond dust over top.
Glue your cardboard heart to the center adding "love" lettering on top.
Add extra embellishments such as a bow and feather if desired.
