2021 STASH BASH #11 - Party Animals
Hello, Crafty Mates!
Today is a rainy, cold day, and I could not bring myself to study or read one more political document. Instead, I decided I would surf YouTube for a card tutorial. As is my usual these days, I started with Tracy Evans and Jo Rice. I ended up creating projects from both tutorials.
Stuff I Used:

613 Avenue Create - April 2021- Challenge #4 - Anything Goes w/Optional Twist: In The Garden (Create A Card for Spring)
Hello, Crafty Makers!
613 Avenue Create's April challenge is a chance to shake off the "Winter Woes" and to "Revel in the Magic of Spring. Anything you might find "In The Garden" can be used as the theme of your project!
Owning all of the AALL & Create Stamps is not in my crafting budget. I have purchased a few (Thanks, Uncle Sam,) and I have set a goal of purchasing bundles when offered at Hochanda and Craftstash. Interestingly, I have discovered many stamps in my stash that make great substitutes. In November of 2020, I used my birthday money to order a bunch of border stamps from AliExpress. They were cheap, and the store owner showed pictures of how these stamps could be cut apart and used individually! I use them all the time as a substitute when following a tutorial by Tracy or Jo.

2021 STASH BASH #10 - ART IS - LEARNING NEW STYLES
Hello, Crafty Folks!
This project is "technically" a stash bash even though the stamps I used are fairly new. The acrylic paints I used to create the background are six or seven years old.
My rose-colored staple (a bit crooked though it may be) is not showing in the picture as well as it does in real life. It is amazing how these small details add so much interest and depth. I debated adding a Pink Poppy to this very gold and green background. In the end, though, I thought the contrast worked out okay!
I had fun exploring and playing around with various techniques. I actually created two backgrounds but I am still unsure how I will finish the second card. I may have to live with it just a bit longer.
