Re-Discover Your Supplies IG Hop - Encouragement/Congrats

Hello Friends and Happy Sunday!  It's been a minute or two since I've posted and today I'm sharing my contribution to the Instagram Card Makers Re-Discover Your Supplies Hop.  This is a Just for Fun Hop providing inspiration with found supplies from your stash.  The objective is to dig through your stash and create using only items that you haven't used or forgotten about.  You will start the hop HERE.

For my project, I've dug deep into the stash and found some dimensional items, a die cut sentiment, an older embossing folder and gems to create a Card of Congratulations that can be used for any special occasion.


List of stash supplies are:  a Frame from a Spellbinders Card Kit, Flower embellishment from a card swap partner (and this flower has a faux leather texture), Congrats Die Cut sentiment from Altenew, Embossing folder from Darice and gems from my large stash assortment of gems and sequins.


These types of projects always leave me with a feeling of accomplishment.  I love buying new craft products and spend way more than I should, however it's equally important to think outside the box and use what we have.  I'm embarrassed to say that I have loads of supplies that haven't been used.  It's time to start Shopping the Stash!  

Please hop along for loads of inspiration from my crafting buddies, who also shopped their stashes and created some beautiful projects!  Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Fun Times Instagram Hop - Varada Sharma Designs

Hi Friends and Happy Wednesday!  Today, the team from Varada Sharma Designs is celebrating the Fun Times Release for October 2022 with an Instagram Hop.  There are (3) $10 Gift Vouchers up for Grabs.  You can find the 1st Hop Stop HERE starting at 10 AM CST (11 AM EST).

My project today features the Water Lilies Digital Image, which is part of the larger Fun Times Release.  I've chosen to create a Card of Encouragement however this lovely floral image is perfect for any occasion.  


Water Lilies belong to a family of approximately 60 species of freshwater flowering water plants. They thrive in the temperate and tropical parts of the world.  We have them growing in the Lake by our home and they are soft pink with yellow centers so I've colored mine the same. 


I've colored the florals with Prismacolor Pencils and blended using Gamsol.  The focal panel was cut using a fancy edged rectangle die from Alina Craft, the patterned paper is from the Secret Gardenia 4.5" x 7" pad by Recollections.  

I used my distressing tool from Tim Holtz to give the edges a tattered look and inked around the panel with Victorian Velvet Distress Ink.  The sentiment is from the Feathered Lilies Stamp Set from Altenew and the pink gems are from Kat Scrappiness.

Please join us and Hop along for your chance to win a gift voucher to the Varada Sharma Designs online Shop.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!
