Amethyst



On the Daring Cardmakers blog challenge this week there is a prize of a Martha Stewart butterfly punch donated by Craft Obsessions oh how I would love to win that punch! The challenge is "Amethyst" which is the birth stone for February. As its mothers day soon in the UK I have made this card. The flower is made after watching Dawn McVeys "poofy flowers" tutorial. These flowers are quite addictive.


Here is a close up of the flower. Papers are BasicGrey. I am looking forward to a crafty weekend, the forecast is for rain so I am not venturing far!

    I’ve not seen these ‘poofy’ flowers before and they look lovely so think I may have to have a go at making some.
    Beautiful card by the way…..I bet your mum will love it.

    Thanks for joining the daring Cardmakers this week and good luck in the draw.

    Hi Sally
    Thanks for visiting my blog and your lovely comments. I'm surprised our paths haven't crossed before, looking at your blog list I see we have some in common.
    Gorgeous card for the DCM challenge. I've been playing around with those poofy flowers, not made a card with them yet! lol :)x
