This is for a Bee-Day (birthday). The "enjoy" square covers a bad boo-boo, but we'll buzz by that and get to the sweet stuff. This card is for 3 challenges:
Color - Daffodil Delight, Old Olive, Mossy Meadow (added a little Pumpkin Pie for the flower center)
Dessert = Summer Treats - lots of summer birthdays in our family. That means lots of birthday treats!
Technique - Watercolor lifting - It was my first time doing this technique. I love how the embossing holds the color so the rest can be lifted or lightened, revealing the clear embossed images.
Alphabet Challenge - Letter W - watercolor, wings on the bumble bee, and bonus challenge of using no white.
Thank you for looking!

Oh, this is really pretty! I love the orange flower centers and that is something I forget I can do instead of the usual boring brown. LOL. The watercolor lifting technique gives your image this nice soft serene look I love. The bee is just adorable. I chuckled about your boo-boo, but I am chuckling with you because I seem to be making an awful lot of boo boos myself these days. You covered it up brilliantly! A fabulous card for 3 wonderful challenges- that is amazing! ~Karen.
