The Pink Elephant - Monogram Challenge

Happy Monday morning to you! Today we have a Monogram Challenge at The Pink Elephant......it's hard to believe we are up to #15 already..........how time flies when you're having fun :)
We have some exciting challenges for you over the coming weeks and of course more fabulous prizes, so make sure you 'stay tuned' :)

I have a couple of projects for you today, the first being this dinky binder clip.............it's holding a rather old but gorgeous picture of my Granddaughter Danielle, taken in a studio when she was 8 months old :)
The centre of the clip was created with shrink plastic and a Just Rite Monogram Stamper. I first coloured my shrink plastic with ColorBox cats eye chalks and then overstamped the letter D with the JR stamper. The ink remains quite wet, so careful positioning was needed when cutting out with my Nestabilities!! I also cut the pink & green card using the CB & Nesties and then placed the stack onto some paper blooms................a little bit of bling and job done! :)

My second project is a matching card & envelope....................for projects like this one i would be lost without my Cricut machine! it's perfect for the ovals and the lettering that i've cut to embellish my gatefold card......................it cuts really tiny for the envelope too!I used George cartridge for the ovals and Base Camp for the monograms, the scalloped edges are cut from a Papermania 12 x 12 stack......... all other paper and card is Anna Griffin.............so elegant!
We would love to have you join us for this challenge, it's so refreshing to see all your different ideas each week..........and so hard to choose our favourites!!
Thanks for popping in today..........................see you soon ;-D
