Zenspired Holidays Inspiration | Season's Greeting with Mona Toth

Hello everyone, it's Mona Toth here, and I am excited to share with you my second post featuring Zenspired Holidays collection by Joanne Fink. Winter is my favorite holiday season and I love the Christmas themed cards very much. I hope you enjoyed my previous post, if you missed it you can find it here.

I started working on my project by scoring. I Scored my card diagonally then I Stamped the Season's Greeting sentiment from the Christmas Sentiment stamp set with Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide Ink and I made colored pencil detailing on it. Next I made the bow from the Christmas Candy Canes stamp set with the same technique, then I made a die-cut from it.

When it was done I stamped more leaves from the Holly Bells Stamp and Die set to the Vellum and Heat Embossed with White Embossing Powder. Then I run them trough my die-cut machine. I adhered the pink Cardstock to my A2 Card-base, styled and glued on it the Vellum leaves.

When it was done I cut a 1/4" piece of paper, and colored with my pencils as a "Ribbon" and added to my card. Next I adhered the colored bow to the card with 3D adhesive.

Finally I highlighted the bow and sentiments with white pen, added little dots with Oyster Grey Nuvo Drops and iced some leaves with Glossy Accents. Added few sequins and my card was ready.
