Less Is More Challenge - Monogram - Week 20

Hi Guys

Its Saturday morning which means, yup, you've guessed it, another LIM challenge!  I missed last weeks challenge as was in New York for a long weekend but seeing Sly Stallone well......

So here is my offering for Monogram.  This card will be the Wedding acceptance card for my husbands best friend and his fiance, James and Laura.  I always think monograms and lovely and give a nice personal touch, hope they like it.



I've mounted an embossed white cardstock onto black, can you tell I love black and white?  The embossing folder is a Tim Holtz one which is lovely.  Everything else is Stampin Up!  My only real embellishment is 2 little diamante but I think it needed them although its always hard to know when to stop.  Still a LIM card I think ;o)  Glad to be back!

To make this card I used
Card - Basic Black, Whisper White
Ink - Basic Black
Stamps - Mr and Mrs, Broadsheet Alphabet
Embellishments - Diamante
Tools - Big Shot

Submitted to the Less Is More Challenge, Delightful Challenges - Anything Goes.

ps Please take a moment to check out any of my video tutorial (right hand side bar) - any feedback would be greatly appreciated.  THANKS!

    Just FAB Stace
    i think the gems are lovely, I'd have probably kept them within the horizontal line, but that's just being picky! lol
    Perfect monogram I love it!
    Thanks so much

    This is beautiful Stace... but if the Diva can be picky, maybe I'll have just a little word...I would have cut the white card off a little shorter so as not to see the edge of the embossing folder on just the left side.
    It's a beautiful card though Stace... thanks so much.

    Very elegant, very lovely! I do like the embossed backing - and I agree with Chrissie, I'd have trimmed it just a tiny bit! It is, however, just lovely!

    Hi there. Thanks for your kind words on my blog - appreciate it.

    This is a lovely card and that embossing folder is superb. I wonder if SU will come up with something similar.

    Have a nice day.
