Daring Cardmakers - Amethyst

This week at Daring Cardmakers we're continuing with our monthly theme of birthstones as follows:-

For the February Birthstone challenge we'd like to see cards with an Amethyst theme, this could be the colour, or maybe something to do with the meaning and mythology around the stone.

You can use anything you like be it papers, gems, buttons, whatever comes to hand as long as the Amethyst stone is the theme

We're also welcoming back two previous Guest Designers , Natty (Kool Kitty Musings) and Asia (Crafty Asia) for a whole 2 months so it's going to be great to see their fantastic creations adorning the Daring Cardmakers Blog once again.

Also this week we have the added bonus of offering a prize - yes it doesn't happen very often but it is rather a special prize so if you want to know more about that pop over and have a look for yourselves. The prize has been offered by the lovely Brenda and David from Craft Obsessions and all I can say is I WANT ONE!
