    Zenspired Holidays Inspiration | Just Believe Card with Alexandra Suta

    September 16, 2018 / 2 Comments

    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…

    Zenspired Holidays Inspiration | Merry Christmas Card with Mona Toth

    September 15, 2018 / 5 Comments

    Hello everyone, it’s Mona Toth here, and today I am sharing with you my last post featuring Zenspired Holidays collection by Joanne Fink. I hope you enjoyed my previous posts, if you missed them you can find them hereand here. I started working on my project by stamping. I stamped many candy images from Christmas Candy Canes stamp set with red dye ink. I used the same ink as a watercolor and colored or painted stripes on them. While they dried I made the card base. I used the Spun Sugar and Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide inks and blended them together. Then I sprayed and splattered on it with white ink…

    Video: Creating a Spot Light for Holiday Card with Kelly Latevola

    September 14, 2018 / 4 Comments

    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…

    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. I started by cutting a cardstock panel and then ink blend it using Antique Linen, Cracked Pistachio and Peacock feathers distress inks. When I ink blend I always make sure to tap off the excess ink from my ink blending foam, and using a very light hand to add the ink to my panel. Once the ink blending was done I added some drops of water and let the panel dry. Till the background dries I went ahead and stamped…

    Hello everyone, it’s Mona Toth here, and I am excited to share with you my first post featuring Zenspired Holidays collection by Joanne Fink. Winter is my favorite holiday season and I love the Christmas themed cards very much. I started working on my project with coloring. I used the Wilted Violet, Mermaid Lagoon and Cracked Pistachio Distress Mini inks as watercolor on Distress Specialty Stamping Paper and while it was wet I salted it. That gave me a cool spotted effect. When it was done I stamped the text from the Christmas Sentiments stamp set with Watermark Ink and heat embossed with Gold Embossing Powder. Next, I stamped the…
