I love (pun intended) this project so much because when I think about February, obviously there's Valentine's Day... but I wanted to paint a project that was a nod to Valentine's Day, but not like only Valentine's Day. You know what I'm saying?
I still wanted February's spread to fit in seasonally with winter, and so the idea of doing a frosted heart-shaped leaf was born.
