For Cathy's WTUI challenge this week ~ WT549 What's Your Birthstone , to use the colour of our birthstone and 1 neutral.
Well, I can tell you that I was mightily relieved to find that while diamonds are the traditional birthstone for April ( yes please, darling), either sapphire or opals were listed as more affordable options; sapphire is certainly more practical in terms of making a monochromatic card!!
A simple card: I stamped the wildflower with Versamark on glossy card, embossed with white EP and then added Brushos and water. I punched a border along the edge, trimmed it off and offset it slightly from the main panel. I used the same border punch on the right edge of the card, after embossing it with a script ef. The main panel just has some diamond bling added to finish it off, and there's tiny bling in between each scallop on the right edge.

I believe I can see flecks of diamonds in the Brusho BG you created. So pretty. I love the diamonds on the punched edge. I may have to borrow that idea. Awesome!

Fantastic Brushos Sabrina and I love the EF you used. Blue and white is always such a wonderful combination it always draws me in to take a closer look at the card and details. Beautifully done on this card.

Your white silhouette against the brilliant blue Brusho bg makes for a striking card, Sabrina. Love the little "diamonds" that punctuate your scallops on the right.

Blue and white always make such a beautiful combination, and your watercolor background is gorgeous behind the embossed wildflower. I like the tiny dots of bling on the right border!
