The name's Bond!

The challenge over at 365 Cards today was to use our favourite manufacturer, which of course for me is DCWV! In this case the All Dressed Up stack! Then I used this sketch from Just Christmas & Birthdays and used the theme at the Pink Elephant of Monograms/letters.

This is what I came up with!

I'm not sure if you can see it but what looks like a dimple in the centre of the ribon is actually a bow, I will try and get a close-up tomorrow when the light is a little better.

I only recently got these cream card blanks and now there is a whole range of the black and cream mats in the All Dressed Up stack that I can use with these, fantastic!

You will also probably notice that the circle isn't quite a circle, well that's because I don't have a die-cutting system at the moment or a punch big enough so it was free-handed!

For those of you wondering what the M is for, it will be for my fabulous sister Mandy, not for M in James Bond as Simon thought! Although it would be every easy to change to a card for a guy, by choosing a central monogram without a floral pattern.

Now I'm off to try and calm the kittens down, after a huge, furry black and white tom cat snuck in the house and frightened them!

    This is great! You can just change the monogram and get a masculine card! And what a great gift a stack of these would be! Great job!

    Great card Bex. Love black and white it is sooo elegant. Hand cutting the circle just adds to the uniqueness of your creation.
    Oh your poor babies I hope they are settled now!! It would be just like a tom to strut through someones home. They really are beautiful girls aren't they?

    Good to see you are getting the knack of combining challenges ;)

    I thought you would choose DCWV too, great minds think alike.

    Hope the kitties have settled down after their nasty fright.
