Mondo Amaryllis Flower Box: We're Engaged!

 Hello Crafters! 

Oddly I have a little bit of extra time tonight so I thought I would get a few posts that have been sitting in my drafts section up. 

This video has been up for a while so you may have already heard but just in case you haven't I have some news...


We're engaged! 

I couldn't be happier and I'll, well...we'll share the whole story just let me tell you about the card first because it sure isn't covered in the video haha

Edited to add that the stamp and die used for this card are 25% off right now! 


You can get all Essentials by Ellen products 25% off through tonight at midnight. Use code EBElove25



I absolutely adore the Mondo Amaryllis and I knew I wanted to showcase it a little bit differently. Since moving into a house I've been perusing more home decor and I've fallen in love with these farmhouse style boxes. I thought it would be perfect for the flowers.  


I drew my own box using a t-square ruler and a pencil. Once I was happy with the way it looked I went over it with a copic safe pen. I masked the box to add some distress ink in the background. I started with a new ink blending foam and the results weren't great. Those seasoned foams always work way better. Since I couldn't fix the blending I decided to cover it up. I added some Silver Smoke Mica Spary which did the job while adding a nice silver shimmer. 


I stamped the amaryllis on another piece of white cardstock and colored it with my copics before die cutting it out. I went around the white outline with a gray copic to help it blend into the background. I used my craft knife to cut along the top of the flower box creating a slit. I inserted the flower die cut inside securing it with glue on the backside. I added foam tape under the flower blooms to help it stand out from the background. 

You can see how I made the card in the video below but you won't hear much about it. However, if you'd like to hear all about how we got engaged from both Eric and I hit that play button :) 


Thank you so much for stopping by, please be patient with me as I try to catch up on these posts!
