Zenspired Holidays Inspiration | Magic of the Holidays with Mona Toth

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 images from the Dangling Ornaments stamps. I used Watermark Ink and heat embossed with Gold Embossing Powder again.

When it was done I adhered it to the A2 card base. After this I colored the Christmas Ornaments with Wilted Violet Distress Ink.  Finally iced two ornaments with Glossy Accents
