Darnell's Birthday!

Let the bees buzz and the birds chirp...it's Darnell's birthday today!
Happy birthday dear, sweet friend.  
This is for you on YOUR day!   I sure do hope that your day is filled with everything wonderful!  Big hugs to you and kisses too!

To make this card I used a brass stencil that has 3 sizes of the hibiscus floral and I sponged the 3 sizes and colours  with sponge daubers.  I kept thinking of Darnell's sponging post and giggled the whole time that I was making this card.  I totally get what Darnell was talking and feeling about sponging and blending colours!  HAHA! I have been there many times my friend!

The SU hummingbird is stamped with two greens and I rotated the stamp to create the flutter for the wings.  I used 2 ancient Tattered Angels mists of blue and green (funny, they don't have a mister, just a paintbrush-like applicator) in selective areas of the hummingbird.  I added some liquid pearls to the stamens of the hibiscus and a few sequins finish the card off.  
That large sequin at the 8 o'clock position, well, it is covering a wee smudge of the red ink from my finger, shhhhhhh don't tell Darnell!
That
