As we are at the start of another new month the birthstone series of challenges continues over at Daring Cardmakers with the birthstone for March which is:-
Aquamarine
It's an interesting stone as it comes in various colours - aquamarines come in sea blue; sky blue; blue green and sea green which is a lovely broad sea/sky palette. The crystal structure is hexagonal. It is also associated with the properties of faithfulness, courage and friendship.
My card:-
