Crafters of Faith August Challenge

Hello everyone!!! Another month with the COF Sisters. I have to say "I LOVE this month's challenge". Liz was our hostess this month and here is her challenge:

This is my birthday month, and a peridot is my birthstone. It is one of my favorite shades of green. My challenge for you is to use your own birthstone color and make a monochromatic card. If you have an April birthday you can make a white on white card and use diamond bling for your embellishments or clear buttons. If you are a June birthday, you could make a white card and use pearlized paint or pearls to add some pazzazz!! Use whatever neutral color you would like with your birthstone color and have fun dazzling us.

My month is in April so I choose to make a white card with diamonds and here it is:

Please visit my other COF Sisters for wonderful creations!!!

For this card I used:

Cardstock: White from Recollections
Stamp: Word Play from SU
Accessories: Embossing folder and Rhinestones from SU, Crumb Cake ink pad from SU as well and Butterflies die and Oval Stax die from MFT
