Here are my cards for today, 2 today, because 2 of my brothers had birthdays within a week of each other and, as I had downloaded the monogram cutting files from Krewella Designs HERE I thought I would give them similar cards. I have used paper from A Day to Celebrate - Boys by Katie Creates at Stuff to Scrap Simply Scrapping Stuff. I have used the papers a lot recently so look out for more LOL.
No I haven't made a mistake in the order of the letters, I have placed them in the order they were done. LOL, these monograms were so easy to cut, even though I made them smaller than the original cut file.
The card with B on, I printed the background directly onto the card, cut the other papers after printing, and placed them on the card. I cut a cream frame with my Cricut and matched it with the balloon paper then cut out the B in the same cream and layered it on a navy background and 3D'd onto the frame which was also 3D.
The A card I printed all the papers directly onto the card, I used shadows in PS to show them layered. I added 3D bunting from the same set and cut the A from card printed with the background design and placed it over silver mirror card, I tied a length of cord to the A then 3D'd onto the card.
I used the same sketch for both cards - I was going to enter the challenge of the sketch, but time went too quickly for me.
Hope the sun is shining where you are.
I shall enter the following challenges
