Watercolour Dragonfly Splatter

Hey Everyone! I am back with another card to share with all of you! I mentioned in my last post that I was going to be sharing a lot of the Thank You cards that I have been putting together for some orders that I'm working my way through.

The idea for this card came from a card that I had seen on pinterest. I loved the splatter look on that card, and knew I could create something similar for the card that I was going to be creating.

I really love how this card turned out. I love the simplicity of the stamping and the wording, and the tone on tone with the splatter look from the 3 colours of ink I used. This is a technique that I haven't used that much in the past, but its certainly one that I intend on using again in the future!

Here's the front view of 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.
