Paula's "Easel Does It" challenge was a huge success so a great big Thank You to all who made an easel card to share with us over this past week. It's been such a treat to see them.
An extra special "well done" to those who did the double dare and made a shaped version and also for those who made an easel card for the first time because of this dare - that really is the true spirit of the Daring Cardmakers. We hope you enjoyed making them as much as we enjoyed seeing them.
We are delighted to announce that Andrea Gourley, who won Keryn's SU prize die last week agreed to come and join us as Guest Designer for the whole of May.
We're especially pleased to have her on the Team as not only is she a wonderful card-maker, but she's been contributing to our challenges almost since we started out back in 2006.
Welcome aboard Andrea we know you're going to be a real inspiration to us all.
Throughout this year, our first dare each month is given over to cards inspired by that month's birthstone
"Prized since ancient times, a fine emerald can be more expensive than a high quality diamond of the same carat weight."
The May birthstone is the Emerald and 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!
If you're looking for extra inspiration you can find lots of info about the myths and legends surrounding the Emerald HERE
To help get you thinking here's what the Design Team have come up with this week - remember we always love to see what you make so please come back and leave a link
