OK, here are the challenges that I was thinking of when I made this card:
1. MOTHERMARK'S BEE TEA PARTY(Notice the little bee with glittery wings#
2. RED DIVAS #Red flowers, bird and base of card#
3. CAS27 #Bling added to centers of flowers, and glitter added to centers of big flowers and on bee's wings#
4. SC241
5. DDC#For this week's dare... out of the box. My little bird has his tail out.#
6. CCEE#From a week ago...make a card with a bird and a bee.)
I stamped the big flowers with white ink on brown paper. I had wanted to use the bleach technique so I could do yesterday's color challenge as well, but I have never had luck getting the bleach to work. I only got a little of one of the flowers bleached, so I decided to stamp the rest with white. I colored them in with chalk. The little flowers were punched with my mini flower punch. I added rhinestones in the centers. I colored the bird with prisma colored pencils and added faux stitching at the edges.

Very pretty card! And I'm impressed...I can barely do one challenge! This is a cute bird image, and I like how the flowers match between the main image and the background. TFS.

Great job MariLynn. Love your bird and that adorable little bee. Doncha' just love it when you can get several challenges from one card. I had to do that today since we're leaving on vacation at 5 am tomorrow morning and I'm going to be MIA for awhile. Actually we're going to be sort of in your neighborhood. (Iowa?)
