give me an M!

Hi my friends!  I'm interrupting my normal Monday chores to share a card I've made for Altenew's Monogram Contest!  Yay!

I have a few of their mega alpha dies: X O U and M!  Today, I've reached for the M and have made a fun anniversary card for my neighbors, Michelle & Marc!  Can you not see dishes of M&M's candies included in their wedding decorations?  

I've not made my card as colorful as those iconic candies, but think they'll love it just the same...


I've stacked two Alpha die cuts: Mega M, and Classic Alpha M
This fun little ampersand is from my newest Linear Pathway Alpha Outline dies
I've used my favorite debossing Dotted Swirls again to add interest to
both the Mega M and the front panel.  A sweet little sentiment, from
You & Me was white heat embossed onto black cardstock.

Okay.  The dryer cannot be ignored forever ... hope you have loads of fun today, too!

Another winner here!! I LOVE the embossing on both the background and the M. I do not have any Mega letters. Nope, nope, nope. I cannot buy them!!

So elegant, Michele ... soft, subtle, texture-y ... and just beautiful! P'raps M&Ms should come in this colour combo! Hugs, Anita :)

I can't even... this is so much fabulousness!

I hate that beep on the dryer...of course, yours probably sings, "Come To Me" when it's ready to be emptied. Mine doesn't. What I do have is deep admiration for this elegant wedding card. Layering those letters is simply brilliant.

This is so elegant, Michele! I love how you stacked the alphas and the ampersand is so cool! Not to mention the gorgeous effect of your debossed Dotted Swirls...Looks like a winner to me! xx

Brenda said...

What a beautiful and elegant anniversary card Michele! Love how you took an "M" and made this. I will have to keep this idea in my mind as I just love it. I'm telling you lady, I so want that mind of yours! lol Hugs, Brenda

Oh No!!!! I just realised that I don't think that I have the Classic Alpha Die Set from Altenew.... how did that happen lol. This is M & M brilliant (even without the colour) and from one of my fave 'M's' too!

What a chic anniversary card, Michele! The layered M’s and ampersand, the debossed swirls, and the combination of the different fonts add so much interest to this monochromatic CAS card. Michelle & Marc will love it!
