Great inspiration challenge, Jen! One of my favorite places in NYC was the Cloisters, which houses the medieval collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It's an amazing place, but the art there is very hard for this CAS stamper to take inspiration from, LOL! So I poked around the Metropolitan's main site and found an image of the metal buttons you wear for admission. http://www.metmuseum.org/home.asp
As soon as I saw it, I knew I had to make a monogram card using this Da Vinci alphabet from Hampton Arts. The card is a 4.25" square, and the "button" is embossed in white on ballet blue and popped on dimensionals.
Thanks so much for looking!

I totally have one of those buttons...um, somewhere.
Love your take on it - the blue and white are very crisp, and the square suits the circle, if that makes sense!
