Monograms are very very popular now. I love the classic look of black and white for a wedding. I had just purchased the monogram stamp set, which has the whole monogram kit plus choices in it. The company that makes the monogram letters and designs is http://justritestampers.com/. Since the CHA show this past summer they have expanded their line a lot. I bought the basics to start and I love love love it. Quick and easy. The inspiration for this card originally came from here: http://dbdoodle.blogspot.com/2008/05/say-cheese.html.
Debbie's original card is stunning simple and elegant. Since I was "under the gun" for a Wedding Card I found my inspiration from searching the Splitcoast Stampers website. I added some personal changes to it and created the bow from directions in the SU Success publication that I get monthly as a Demonstrator. Black satin ribbon was the final touch, which tied the whole look together. The actual Monogram is stamped with Black "Versafine" ink and clear embossed on Vellum Card stock. I then punched the vellum with a 1 1/2 circle punch and punched another Circle of the same size out of the Quartz paper from http://www.actionenvelope.com/ae/control/main and glued it together. So the glue would not show through the vellumn I put the glue on the black areas of the monogram.
