Hello and welcome to a brand new month of dares with the Daring Cardmakers!
Thanks to everyone who helped make Lythan's "Eggs" theme so much fun last week - we had such a great time looking at all your cards.
Before announcing this week's little challenge we'd like to introduce our lovely new Guest Designer - we're thrilled to have
Cinnamon Sally
with us for the whole of April and we're sure that you'll just love seeing her fabulous cards. Why not head over to Sally's blog and see all the lovely things she makes - actually, why not visit the blogs of all our Team - we'd love to get some messages from you!
We're also delighted to say that Nat will be joining the Design Team full time from now on - how fab is that?

Well, as you know we're looking to each month's birthstone for inspiration for the first dare of that month. This month is a bit of a tricky one (well we found it tricky anyway...) The birthstone for April is the
Diamond
so we'd like you to come up with cards which relate in some way to diamonds.
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.
The team have made some lovely cards which will hopefully get you thinking.
Don't forget to come back and let us know where we can see your creations - we do enjoy our tours of blog-land every week.
Have fun
Sally

I made a card "fit for a princess" for the challenge - see if you can find the five teeny tiny "diamonds"!

Hi there!

Great inspiration from all the DT. I don't normally use 'diamonds' on my cards, it's usually coloured ones so this made a lovely change. Hope you like my BIG rock??? My card is here
