Since amethyst is the gemstone for the 6th anniversary the challenge this week is to use lots of amethyst (the colour), purple or lavender on your project!
I enjoyed stamping and playing around with some of the new sets from the March release to make my card:
I've used the Bee Happy stamp set from the March release and the honeycomb mini background (also from the March release). The dies I've used are Elegant Ovals, Zinnia and Leaves and Beautiful Borders. The gorgeous paper is from the Blooming Garden Collection.
