Zenspired Holidays Inspiration | Just Believe Card with Alexandra Suta
Hi everyone! Alexandra here today from Made by Alexandra sharing with you my final card as a guest designer using the gorgeous Zenspired Holidays collection by Joanne Fink. For my card today I started by stamping this amazing tree from Christmas Joy stamp set using Versa Mark ink and white emboosing powder. I really enjoy watercoloring lately so i took my Winsor &Newton watercolours and coloured the stamped image. I started by adding water to the image until the paper was saturated. Here I used Canson Mix Media paper (but you can use any watercolor paper). After adding water I started adding color to the tree and as I shared…

Video: Creating a Spot Light for Holiday Card with Kelly Latevola
Hello Crafters! Normally, I’m all about the Copic coloring but today’s technique actually focuses on the background. With the holidays just around the corner I think you’re going to find this one pretty fun and useful! When I first saw the Joyful Season Angel from the Zenspired Holidays collection I though she looked like she was descending. That’s what gave me the idea to give her a bit of light to carry her. I started ink blending one layer of various blues. Since I wanted a night sky look I used medium to darker blues and a black. Once I had the first layer down I added a few splatters of…

Zenspired Holidays Inspiration | Beautiful Ornaments with Alexandra Suta
Hi everyone! My name is Alexandra and i blog at Made by Alexandra. Today i am going to share another card featuring the fabulous Zenspired Holidays collection by Joanne Fink.
