I haven't done a monogram card before, I can't think why. I've done plenty of wedding and anniversary cards including the concerned parties' initials, but not a single letter.
I did this one in a hollow font on the computer in an enormous size and printed it onto card, before cutting out. I then embossed it with the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder. The tiny daisies resting on the D are from another Cuttlebug die. The huge daisies were stripped from a spray containing loads of flowers, which cost me £1 from Poundland or some such cheapy shop... much less expensive than Prima flowers, which is what I think that the spotty ones are.
The backing paper is from K&Co and the Oak leaves are from a Woodware punch.
There are no prizes for guessing who will eventually receive this card... my gorgeous granddaughter, Daisy!
Your card is BEAUTIFUL

Oh Daisy will love that - what a wonderful combination - the letter D and the daisies as embellishments. Great work yet again Chrissie.
