"Let me tell you about the birds and the bees.....". Remember that song by Jewel Akens? LOL That song came to mind when I started on this project and I listened to him on YouTube while creating!
This card is my submission for two SCS challenges, F4A316, Mellow Yellow, and MIX163, To Die For. Mellow Yellow - create a focal point in yellow, and To Die For - use at least one die cut and at least two different mediums.
For Mellow Yellow - my bird is a blue and yellow bird and is the focal point. In my research, I could only find it called "blue and yellow bird".
For To Die For - I used two die cuts, one to cut out the watercolor paper, and one to cut out the blue frame. Different mediums - I used a gorgeous EF for the card base that I embellished with basic pearls, and one of the three bees (the other two are at the bottom of the card). I added vellum for the bees' wings. I also used SU Markers and Copic Markers for coloring the bird.
Hope you're having a great weekend!! Enjoy and TFL!

Beautiful cards for both challenges. I love the pearls on the EF and I always love images that are offset. I also happen to think your bird is exceptional in color and presentation. As far as I'm concerned, you've aced both these challenges and then some.
