If you don't already know, I'm a huge fan of Altenew products and especially their stamp sets. I love the sophistication from most of their stamp designs and layering of their gorgeous florals.
My husband and I are proud parents to several parrots thru the years...we only have "Rocky" our 27 year old Blue & Gold Macaw. We have wanted to add a Hyacinth Macaw to our brood, this may have to suffice.
I've been wracking my brain of how to participate in this months Altenew Inspiration Challenge and with the latest SCS CAS challenge, this card is born.
Since I've had the markers out, and need to practice using them, it was a easy decision to use them for the depth of color I needed for this macaw. There are so many fine details, I wasn't really able to achieve the feathering.
I hope you're taking advantage of the SCS challenges and those of your favorite craft sites.
Thank you for looking.

Beautiful card! I love watching birds. I was just telling my daughter that it would be fun to have a parrot! Love your blue and the contrast of green in the background. Your card is featured on scs Instagram today!

Your layout is a perfect complement to the image and a great submission for this challenge! I loved how the bird's wing and tailfeathers extend beyond the colored background. Beautiful!
