Welcome to the Grand Vacation Achievers Blog Hop for March! I am very excited to be playing along with some very talented stampers in this group! This month our theme is Wedding Dreams. I am sure that you will find some incredible inspiration from the projects that you are about to see. 

You may just be starting the blog hop here at my blog – Rose Marie Coleman or may have come from the person previous to me in the list. If you get off track at any time, please come back to the full lineup to help you move along from blog to blog so you see all the projects. 
 
Here’s a look at my card…

Here are some tips about how I made the heart shape…
 
I decided to use the Bird Builder Punch to make a heart shape to “frame” my sentiment. I just love this little “twig” from the punch! So much you can do with this punch.
For the top portion of the heart shape, I just cut off the long skinny piece and then I started laying the pieces down to form a heart shape. My original plan when I set out to create this shape, was to complete it all with the leaf portion of the twig. But, I was pleasantly surprised when the last two pieces I lined up came together nicely at the bottom of the heart. 
 
Here’s a closer look…

I sponged some Stazon ink on the edges of the twigs just to make them “pop” a bit. Then I decided to use the wink of Stella brush to add a little hint of sparkle.

Thanks for taking part in our blog hop, there are so many amazing ideas and inspiration you don’t want to miss. Remember that currently you are at my blog – Rose Marie Coleman, so check the blog hop line up list to see who is next in the list.

    I am so totally a fan Rose. The subtle and smokey sponging of the edges of the leaves just make the card! And then there is that subtle but wonderful Wink of Stella. Love that pen! Glad we got to hop together this month. Have a wonderful Easter and God Bless, ~Cynthia <><

    Thank you so much, Cynthia! I was feeling quite challenged with the wedding theme this month. I didnt think I had any wedding supplies, so I had to work with what I have. LOL
    Wishing you and your family a Happy Easter too! Hugs!

    Lovely card, Rose Marie. The heart is wonderful. The sign of a truly gifted card maker is the ability to create stunning and meaningful cards with limited materials. With the right adhesive, I am sure that you could make great cards with rainbows & faerie dust. I’ve been to all 28 stops on the 2016 Mediterranean Achiever’s Blog Hop – really long but full of interesting work and very ‘international’!
