Less is More - Monogram

Good Evening, well it's that time of the week again.  When I first saw the topic for this week's Less is More Challenge - Monogram, my heart sank right down to my boots.  I have spent the afternoon going through all of my grandchildren's names trying to come up with an idea - then the light bulb went off.  My eldest grandchild is called Bethany, who is 16, and for quite a few years now has gone by the name of Bee, starting out with her mum just using the letter B when texting.  I did a quick google search and found the bee image and went to work with Craft Artist. I used Calamity Teen font and the colour picker to match the text with the bee's wings.  I printed the B and the bee then cut it to size and matted with some co-orinating Papermania textured cardstock and used a black pen to leave a trail.  The sentiment was printed directly onto the card.   I hope this is the kind of thing you are looking for Chrissie and Mandi.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you like my card.
