Hello! Today I’m joining in the birthday fun as we wish the lovely, sweet and every so hilarious Darnell a wonderful birthday. If you haven’t ever stopped by Darnell’s blog, then you are missing out. I have to admit, I’m not a blog reader. Most of the time I just skim through to see the photos and move on, but Darnell has a unique writing style that pulls me in and cracks me up every time.
I created my card using some Papertrey Ink dies and stamps.
I used my Smooth Alpha dies that haven’t been cut apart yet to create a background.
The sentiment is from Stylish Sentiments: Birthday and I embossed it onto some Simon Says Stamp Smoke cardstock.
Wishing you a very happy birthday, Darnell, and thank you for bringing sunshine into our lives♥ You can see more of the birthday linky party over on the amazing Ardyth’s blog. A special thank you to Bev for bringing all the birthday goodies, too:) Thanks for stopping by!

I’m surprised you haven’t cut apart the alpha dies yet! This one is soooo pretty!

Scrumptious card – love the die cut alpha background and gorgeous colour combo! I am sure Darnell will love it 🙂
Laura, Darnell is going to adore this card! It’s simply stunning. Awesome die cut alphas! Love those stripes and the sweet butterfly. I think I love the little off-set sequins in the butterfly’s center the most; they seemed to pull me right in. I know for sure that Darnell is going to love this. Sooo glad you were able to come and party with us! : )
Love this card! I really need to get that butterfly set and coordinating die. Awesome alphabet background too…
Laura what a beautiful card for Darnell! I love the embossed sentiment and the layered butterflies!
Your blog is not only instructive but useful too.
Oh, this is gorgeous!
So pretty…love the diecut panel of letters.
Hi Laura Fadora! I’m sorry I have taken so long to stop in and thank you for this special post and card you made for me. Between my birthday and the fourth of July and company and parties, I’m so far behind that I’m catching up with myself! When I saw this, it almost made by defibrillator fiberlate!! Thank you so, so much for your wonderful compliments and for this sensational card! I love this design from the white embossed sediment to the double-decker sequins! That die cut background looks debossed and is just plain genius and the butterfly layers are pure eye candy!! It means the world to me that you joined in the surprise linky party for me and endorsed my little blog!! I hope your 4th was fabulous!! Hugs, Darnell
Blissful, Laura … white on white, subtle with a splash of colour and bling … as always, so amazing! Anita 🙂
This is amazing and you are amazing and I love your cards. Do you have a Facebook page for your blog? I want to like it! 🙂
