And expecially to my bloggie friend, Sharron, who is celebrating her birthday today!

Sharron does amazing card art on her blog, On Papillion Wings! If you don't know Sharron, you are in for a treat when you stop in to wish her a very Happy Birthday today!!
I was invited to the party by POE (Party Organizer Extraordinaire) Joyce, the first link in the hop list below, and I'm so grateful to be included. (ETA: This post was to go live a few hours ago, but I just noticed that Blogger was a bugger. I'm sorry.)
Sharron has a wide range of styles she achieves with her cards, so for my card today, I keyed in on her blog title and made her a card with - walla - butterflies, and lots of 'em!
I'm keeping this short so you can flutter by the other gorge cards (and cakes!!) for lots of beautiful inspiration!
Darnell (you're here)

ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Darnell!
Darnell, your card is gorgeous! LOVE the butterflies-the bright colors are stunning!! Super fun cake too--really makes me smile to have such great gifts and most important, such great friends! Thanks so much. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteOhhh those butterflies! I just wrote to Christina that her card for Sharron looks like a vintage botanical print and so does yours! Wonderful colors. This card is so light and airy it's ready to take flight!
ReplyDeleteWow, Darnell, that is absolutely beautiful. Simply stunning. Of course butterflies are one of favorites. Sorry I haven't been around to leave comments in the past 2-3 weeks as I have been busy watching over my 93 year old father who has been in the hospital and then home where he needed 24/7 care the first week. Now things are back to normal (I pray)and I should be able to be back in my craft room this week.
ReplyDeleteWhoa!!! Stunning card!
