LIM Week 20 - Monogram

I really like the challenge at LIM this week - we have to create a card with a monogram which gives me the chance to use my favourite alphabet stamps from Anna Griffin.  I'm a huge Anna Griffin fan but don't often use her stuff as its not very LIM and I also find it VERY hard to cut her beautiful papers..........

Here is my first card for this week - I think there will be another before the day is out though :-)

I've gone for a very simple but striking layout using an "M" for Mother from one of Anna's wonderful alphabets, stamped in black onto gold pearl paper cut from one of my new spellbinders fancy tags.  I then drew around the outside of the same tag and cut it by hand to create a black frame to mount the die onto.  A little bit of stitched black and white ribbon behind was all that was needed to set it off.

Thanks for visiting - LIM is always where the majority of my blog traffic comes from which is why we all love it so much.  See you later with a different type of monogram.
