Mother's Day Card - Day 12

Hey Everyone!

I am so sorry that I've been away for a couple days. Wednesday I dealt with an emergency so it kept me at work longer than I wanted to be. Thursday I designed a bunch of cards, but worked a night shift so didn't have a chance to post it, Friday I worked and was away, and Saturday and Sunday I worked all day...so needless to say I've been busy, and while I haven't been posting, I have been keeping good and making a card a day.

That exciting news that I have been talking about I will be able to share with you over the next couple days. I totally cannot wait to share this with you and get started with it.

As far as this card goes...I promised that I would do something slightly different than Birthday or Wedding/Love, so here it is. I created this Mother's Day card for an order that I have been working on. I was so excited to play with 2 of my favourite colours. I also got to play with my prisma coloured pencil crayons, which I haven't gotten to play with all that much prior to this, but I really enjoyed it, and I think that I am going to be using them ALOT in the future.

I added some stardust glitter to the ribbon and love that you can see it here in the pictures. I think that it finishes off the card really nicely and gives it that little shimmer that it needs.

Here's the image that I used on the card...

About Me

My name is Amanda and I am 27 years old. I first began scrapbooking pages and trying to learn/teach my way through it. I then decided to join a local crop night and learned how to put together various page layouts and how to use different tools and techniques. I then moved away to school. I searched for a stress release while I was away and stumbled upon Under Construction Stamps, and the owner (who now is basically my 2nd mom) taught me tons. I took card making classes, book classes, etc and LOVED every minute of it. 2009 was when I was first introduced to wood mount rubber stamps, and from there it became a hobby and an addiction in a sense. I have been making cards to give to family and friends since 2009 and recently I have been making a lot of commission cards for friends, family and people in the public. I love what I do and this blog is a way of helping to inspire others as well as showing off incredible stamp images from some very talented and incredible designers.
