💜 Staying in the CLEAN! ~ Wishing You Well Card| Rediscover Your Supplies IG Hop| What's In Your Stash?

Welcome Friends! Today I’m a part of the Rediscovery Hop on Instagram. We were tasked with using either a get-well theme, or an embossing technique, or both. We’re challenging you to find the hidden treasures in your craft stash instead of buying new supplies. I chose to design a clean and simple card today! What???? If you know my style you know that it’s usually not clean and simple – something I struggle with. So, I forced myself to stay in the clean – lol! 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
