Engagement card using Simon Says Stamp Cora Background Stamp

Happy Saturday!
Today I have a Engagement card I made for my sis in law and soon to be brother in law.
I thought the SSS Cora background would be great since all those hearts in the background

I heat embossed with Ranger Fine Detail Embossing Powder and then wanted to do some water coloring with Distress Inks. 

I was making the card for both of them so I did not want the colors to be overly girly.

The colors I used were:

Abandoned Coral

Hickory Smoke 

Mowed Lawn 

Peacock Feathers and Salty Ocean  (mixed on craft mat)

I do not have any Engagement stamps so I spelled out the sentiment 

using the Concord and 9th Perfectly Penned Stamp Set. 

I popped it up on some foam tape and placed the whole piece onto a grey card base.

I wanted the envelope to look special too and used the SSS Sending Flowers Stamp Set . I made the envelope from the same Michaels Recollections card stock as I used in the card base.


I hope you have a great weekend and I will see you next time!
