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

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!
