Less is More - Recipe

Hi folks, not been around all week as I am suffering from Labrynthitis which causes vertigo.  So, I have not been able to do much.  We were supposed to be going to a Wedding Reception this evening and I haven't felt up to making the card.  I already knew that I wouldn't be fit to go, but Robert had said he would go, so I spent the entire day trying to make a card. He came home from work and said that he wouldn't be going as he is a bit tired after a 12 hour shift - men!

I decided that I was going to make a card for this week's Less is More Challenge - use a button or ribbon (or multiples).  As you can see I have made a monogram card for Mary and Daniel.  This card is about the 12th version, but sorry I can't go into detail because using the computer aggravates labrynthitis and I would be here all night trying to post.  I usually like to make wedding cards to match the bride's colour choice, but our invite was just a piece of cream card.  Unfortunately I am out of cream card, so I went with a white pearlised card with a golden shimmer, all of the constrasting card is gold mirri, but it looks black in the picture.  The initials were cut using my CraftRobo everything else is from my stash

I hope I haven't overdone the decoration on my card Chrissie and Mandi and that it still is Less is More
Apologies for not being able to visit many Limettes this week, unless the Labrynthitis goes quickly

    Pretty card Beryl, I hope your ear problems resolve very soon.
    It might have looked nice to have intertwined the initials... true monograms often are and for a wedding I think it's quite fitting to have them 'joined'!
    Thanks so much
