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.
