A couple of the current challenges looked like they were perfect for making a valentine for my hubba - Color Throwdown #824 - "Black, White, and Gray" and Just Us Girls #757 Word Week, "Masculine".
I fumbled around a bit and finally settled on an old PTI stamp from their "Love & Marriage" set that I think I've used only once before - I love this image, but forget that I have it! I stamped it twice with black ink - once on white card stock and again on gray cardstock - and die cut a heart (also PTI) from both images. I overprinted the tiny sentiment with silver heat embossing. Then I layered the gray heart over the black and white image with some black dimensional foam. I trimmed out the image with stitched rectangle and matted it with some of the gray stock. Before adding the various layers to a black card base, I edged the gray mat with silver embossing and added a tiny heart to the gray heart.
I think you can see the dimensional heart and silver embossing a bit better with this close-up photo:
