You are my Most favorite

Hi Tonya here letting you know that you still have time to join in on this month's challenge!  It's a super fun one for me as I have always loved maps.  I made this quick and masculine card to give my son.  I always tell him he is my favorite child and he replies "but mom I am your only child!"  He's 28 now and I still say it to him. 😀

I used a map page from the Sail Away Paper Pad and I stamped the sentiment with Hero Arts Unicorn Pigment Ink and then wanted it to have a little more dimension so heat embossed it with clear embossing powder.  I had planned on using the Neat & Tangled Hope Anchors the Soul stamp but grabbed the wrong stamp.  I hate it when I do that.  Too many ideas going around my brain plus a messy craft room = I get sidetracked and things get weird.  Still the card looks good so I'm going with it!  Can you tell I really need a vacation?



Did someone say VACATION?!!  I will be going on Spring Break soon and to celebrate The Heart Desires is having a sale while I am gone.

Thank you for stopping by, I hope you will join our challenge you still have four more days to get crafty!

June Guest Designer: Laura Norris, Take 2!

Hi Everyone, 

Laura here again!  

I am excited to share another card with you this month.  As we are wrapping up nautical month here on the blog, I featured more nautical paper available in the store.  My card was made with paper from the First Edition Sail Away collection.  What great patterns they have in this collection.  You really need to check it out!  I chose a fun pattern that reminded me of waves, so I fussy cut around the pattern to create an ocean.  And what ocean is complete without a mermaid??  I added one of the adorable mermaids from the new Lawn Fawn set, colored her with Copics, and added some shimmer with a Wink of Stella pen.  The sky on my card is from the sea mix Hero Arts layering paper.   A white embossed sentiment and a couple of sequins finish off this cute card.  I think I’ll send this to a friend I haven’t seen in a while! 

It has been an honor to be the guest designer for June here on the blog!  Thanks to the DT for letting me play along with some of the great products found in the store!
