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.

Spellbinders Zenspired Holidays Collection by Joanne Fink - Inspiration | Just Believe Card with Alexandra Suta featuring SDS-161 Christmas Joy, SBS-165 Christmas Sentiments #spellbinders #neverstopmaking

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 in the previous blog post I like to work in layers and let the color dry in between and then adding more.

Till the tree is drying I am working on my background and the colours for it are inspired by the Northern light. When the background was still wet i added a few sprinkles of salt, and let it completely dry. Once everything is dyr I die-cut the tree using the coordinating die and I also cut out of white cardstock a hill to create a snow hill. The sentiment is from Christmas Sentiments and I used Versa mark ink to stamp it. I adhered everything using foam tape to have a bit of dimension and my card was done!
