As we're in the first week of the month of May it's time for our 'Gemstone' Dare over at Daring Cardmakers - which is of course:-
EMERALD
"Prized since ancient times, a fine emerald can be more expensive than a high quality diamond of the same carat weight."
We'd like you to use this beautiful gem as the inspiration for your cards this week. We'd like to see more than just a tiny spot of emerald green on your cards, too!
We're also delighted to have Andrea joining us as Guest Designer for May - Andrea has been contributing to DCM almost from the start and she has a fabulous blog and makes the most wonderful cards - so why not pop over and see what Andrea and the rest of the team have been making for inspiration and join in the fun!
I made two cards this week using the same papers, gems and flowers:-
