Good morning to everyone! You were warned yesterday about the ribbon/bow overload! This is probably the most OTT card that I have done lately so it just had to be posted today. I did this entire card just so I could demo the gold crochet ribbon rose, then we sold out of the ribbon, go figure! I just wanted to show that this ribbon makes the same kind of rose that the cream crochet ribbon makes. The version that I did demo of this card involved using the Grand Impressibility to emboss the gold Labels 20 die. I really liked the way that came out, but I didn't get a picture of it before they whisked it away to be sent out to the email recipient. Under the heading of "you just never know", I was not going to show this card as I wasn't crazy about it, when one of the stage hands went absolutely nuts over it. I thought who knows, maybe it is someone else's cup of tea so to speak, so here it is. It is out of my comfort zone somewhat as I don't use metallics a great deal, but I was itching to use the background paper that I have had in my stash for some time. Well, it seems that I spoke to soon as we had a day of rain here on Monday! However, judging by the comments that were left yesterday, I will take the rain over the weather that some of you back in England are having (gale force winds, snow, etc.)! I hope today brings some nicer weather for all of us! All for now, Sue x

Completely gorgeous Sue love the colours, can't believe you weren't going to show this one. Is that Spellbinders Foliage? MUST HAVE! Ger x.
Beautiful! I love the use of the foliage too..very dramatic....the weather where I am on the edge of the Cotswolds has been lovely for the time of year, though it is raining today, not too cold though! Carole Z x

Another stunner Sue, the only thing is, everytime I see something new on one of your cards it turns into my new 'Must Have'item, lol xx
Great card Sue! That black and gold combo works really well and for sure is not ribbon overload ^^

Extremely stunning.
Lovely lovely card Hugs Bee

Amanda x
You are definitely in the right place sue. Love the black and gold, and I agree with others not too much ribbon.
Edwina
Holy smokes...this is jaw dropping gorgeous!!! WOW!!!
Hi Sue
Beautiful , but probable not my cup of tea, however, I do like the black and gold.
I was lucky enough to get the crochet ribbon before it sold out, I will have to force myself to use it, instead of just taking it out to look at it.
THE WEATHER IS TERRIBLE, mind I do live in the wettest county in England.

Gorgeous card, love black and gold.
Horses for courses as they say, or something similar anyway!!! Just a quick visit due to DVT I've managed to get, will pop in again soon. Thanks for sharing your wonderful cards and talent - amazing!
Hi Sue
What a gorgeous card-love everything about it and the gold and black combination is perfect.
Eileen x
Wow, you made a great card. I love black and gold combination.
hugs,
Janja
Beutiful card!
Wow! what can I say, another stunning card, I love ribbons on cards, it looks stunning. MariaS
Back to ribbons that you know and love eh Sue!! The white ribbon really enhances the card. Now I wonder if you could make this using mirriboard!!! Only joking. Hope the warm weather is back soon.
Elaine
It's a lovely card Sue - I love the colours and the background paper these are the kind of papers I really like - it has a kind of mediaeval feel to it - very nice.
lots of love from lilygeexx
It certainly works for me, but I am a black fan anyway and together with gold... well what can I say. Love the gold sentiment on the black too.
Elizabeth x
Fabulous,fabulous,fabulous....The colours work so well on this card..well done.
Carol x
Gold & black is very stylish Sue. When will you be back to blighty? Ann W
Wow Sue, this card is amazing. I love the gorgeous big bow. And the gold and black are stunning. Lee x
Wow!!!!
I love metallics myself and black & gold together is very elegant. Love the gold rose.
I do like the colour combination of gold and black. And the crotchet ribbon is stunning. love how you use the ribbon as flowers - very inventive. I think the card is stunning and perhaps can understand why you are not keen on it, because it is not something that you normally do. But I think its great to do that. and the result is stunning. I am still yet to watch all your shows, ordered the stuff, but it is still recorded on my box.
What no teal today Sue!!!!!
I love gold and black together and the card is stunning as usual.
Hugs Vanessa x
Absolutely beautiful! I love the rose you made out of the ribbon.
The is ribbontastic!! I adore black cards and its fab with the gold. Its very windy, rainy and dull here in Bournemouth xx
Lovely card - good luck finding an envelope to fit lol!
great clour scheme and card beautiful as always
Hi Sue, well I am shocked today. I really thought we had similar taste but I must disagree today. I love this card! It reminds me of Robert Shaws' Henry VIII in 'A Man for All Seasons'. The costumes he wore were often black and gold with alot of gilt passementerie. Truly regal, a bit ostentatious, but not in a vulgar way. (Boy do I watch too many films!) 'More' of this please!! Regards Linda
This is gorgeous Sue! That gold rose is so elegant and all the extra elements and that luscious bow! I love it all :) It is probably not something I would go to often either, but I love it for a special card!
Stunning card Sue. I love that gold Rose. Delicious bow and colour combo.
Marion
Definitely got the wow factor
I like the black and gold combination especially doing some foliage in each colour and against the backing paper everything really works well together. I must confess though that the bow is a bit too much for my taste. Sorry everyone is having a rough day, it's just started getting windy here in Suffolk but no rain fortunately.
love from Jackie D
Wow, what a great card.
Another winner Sue but you definatley have a thing about ribbon, I am sure there is a cure for it, but then why try....
not overload for me - loved, loved it

I love this card Sue, only problem is that I really want to try and make one similar. Have been buying more sets of dies just to try all these different cards out. Ohh well
keeps me busy when weather absolutely terrible, high high winds and flooding in Scotland
Another wonderful card. Black and gold classic elegance. Love the gold crochet flower.
Sue
Hi Sue, it does have a lot of ribbon but that is what gives it the 'edge', also love the foliage - nice touch. Regards Annex
Wow what a BIG ribbon looks fab another great card sue x
Hi Sue fab card love the rose and ribbon.
Joyce e

Hi Sue
Love the colours on this one. What a classic.
Julie x
I agree with the stage hand. It is a really lovely card and I love all the glitz.
Another stunner Sue
Sandra x
OMG!Simply stunning, thanks for sharing.
Bim xx
Another wonderful card Sue. Can't wait to try it.
The rose is so delicate against the bold black background. Can't wait to see how you do it. I keep saying it - but you really do inspire me. Thank you.

Not sure about this one may be a little dark for me, no one can like everything all of the time or can they LOL, I dont dislike it it may grow on me.
Jane xx
I think this card is superb, love black and gold together. Would send a card like this to someone special as its not an everyday style card.
A lovely dramatic card , love the gold and black and the gorgeous flower and ribbon. Hugs x ChrisB
Love the black and gold but the ribbon .....not sure!
You must love making boxes to put these cards in as the ribbon and bows make it rather large!
That ribbon makes a very pretty flower.
this card is stunning i LOVE black and gold..wow and its definatley ribbon overload lol !!
Millie xx
We all need to go 'large' sometimes and you certainly have with this one! Crochet ribbon bows are just so elegant.
Very stiking card! Really liked the teal butterfly card from yesterday too!

your cards are beautiful but your bows are a true work of art
Lovely card Sue. Really NEED the foliage set but unfortunately the pow it came in also included sets I have already. Could do with pow's where we can choose the four sets we would like lol.
