Welcome Friends! Today I’m a part of the Rediscovery Hop on Instagram. We were tasked with either a Thanksgiving/Christmas theme or adding dimension, or both. We’re challenging you to find the hidden treasures in your craft stash instead of buying new supplies. We want you to root through your stash and rediscover and use what you have. I bet you’ll be surprised!
Please join me on Instagram, @artsyfaithrae, to hop along with us to see what we created with our hidden treasures. #rediscoveryoursupplies
๐ #RTQ: Is silver underrated as a color? I don't tend to use it enough! I made two cards using the @heroarts color layering poinsettias, embossing folders, distress oxide inks, foil, and a little glitter paste to create dimension and texture on my cards.
