This week on Daring Card Makers it's the beginning of a new month and therefore it's time for a new birthstone to inspire our card making.

The birthstone for April is the
Diamond
"How you decide to use the birthstone is up to you, it may be a card for someone who has a birthday during this month, featuring "diamonds. or it may be a card that refers to the meaning or mythology surrounding the stone - anything goes, really as long as somehow the birthstone is hinted at."
I've had these papers for a very long time, they are from the Meg Collection from Making Memories, the font for the sentiment is, of course, Hollywood. The 'diamonds' and 'sapphires' are from a vintage brooch which has been kicking around in my junk box for two or three years. I also tried out a sketch from Fiskarettes which is part of a competition, but you have to make an original project so I can't submit this one.
What a fabulous take on the dare. Thanks for being a real diamond with DCM this week :)
