Northern Lights Postage Collage - Aurora Borealis | Cherish The Little Moments

Welcome Friends. 💜 I’m always in awe of the pictures I’ve seen of the northern lights, so I incorporated them in today’s design using the emboss resist technique. According to Google, the northern lights were visible in 10 states on November 13, 2025. Also known as the aurora borealis, the northern lights is a natural light display caused by solar wind particles from the sun interacting with Earth's magnetic field. These interactions result in vibrant green, red, and blue curtains of light in the northern hemisphere night sky. The visibility and intensity of these auroras fluctuate.

💜 Watch my process video to see how I used silhouettes to pull off my aurora borealis interpretation.

Is Silver Underrated? | Twisted Stencil Layering | Adding Texture, Foiling, and Shine💜 #RTQ

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

💜 #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.
