I just added a few of the white organza roses that Creative Expressions carries to the top and bottom of the ribbon accent ( I don't make these type of flowers as they are quite fiddly and so much easier to use when you purchase the premade ones and very inexpensive too). For the main of the card, I used the CE Lattice embossing folder. I cut three consecutive sized ovals out of silver, black and white. On the white one, I had stamped the wedding cake in black archival ink and clear embossed it. I had a few left over Fancy Pants swirls in my craft stash so I painted them black with the Eco Green paint and added them to the top and bottom of the ovals. I added a few pearls and some small ribbon roses too. I stamped my sentiment and cut thee small sizes of the ovals for these and added them to the bottom corner with a few pearls to complete my card. I hope you enjoy the change to a wedding card for today! All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue
What a beautiful card. Makes me want to get married again (maybe not lol). I agree with you, black and white is perfect for a wedding card and really elegant.

Hi Sue, What a beautiful card and it could be very adaptable for other occasions (minus the wedding cake!). I love the ribbon and lace too. Thanks again.

Hi Sue I have your DVD and have used this technique as a wreath on my Christmas cards using double sided ribbon and I recieved compliments on them all so thanks for that. Once again I love this card especially the colours you have used.

Good morning Sue,
I am only now about to go to bed (bad night) and all I am doing is singing a song from my all time favourite film, 'My Fair Lady'. 'I'm getting married in the morning,
Ding, dong the bells are gonna chime...'
Such a delightful song and thats exactly what I think of your card. Its lighthearted but vivacious. Just like Eliza in her black & white outfit at the races. Your lovely florish reminding me also of her large brimmed hat, tilted off to the side: so elegant, so chic.
Hope everyone has a good day.
Regards Linda
Such a modern card - love it! Julia xxx
Perfect card! I love the ribbon with the organza flowers and the lace.
Hi Sue!

Wow! love this card like I love all your cards Sue.
I did the Ribbon Weaving on a lot of my Christmas Cards and they went down a treat.
Use Red and White and you can use this theme for a Valentine Card.

Hi Sue, yes this is a beautiful card. I love monochrome anyway and I think it is quite popular for weddings these days. Will have to try the ribbon weaving technique, have your DVD so there will be no excuse.

Hi Sue,
A very beautiful card, elegant.
Loved the shows last night, loved the dies but I dont know what I could do with an extra calibur! lol.
Happy2craft
Sue this card is gorgeous, I love the ribbon weaving it really makes a statement
Will the moroccan dies be sold seperately from the calibur?
Sue xx
Oh wow, thats just amazing, love your ribbon and lace!
Hi Sue,
I love the black and white look but have to admit that am still in an all white obsession after your previous postings!
Just wanted to say thanks for your wonderful DVD which I got for Christmas - the techniques are really different and inspiring. Have been sick for a week with flu and it has brghtened up the time for me. Now I'm better, can't wait to have a go myself!
Hi Sue, the woven ribbon technique is one of my favourite techniques that I learnt from you last year. Before that I had only plaited / braided ribbon.
I would love to see posts of cards utilising the morrocan dies, Love & Light Theresa. H
So elegant!!
Wonderful - so classic and could suit many different occasions.x
This woven ribbon accent is so cute!
Absolutely gorgeous card here again Sue, and I so love this wowen lace border, you made here. It really looks awesome, so now I have to go and see that video, so I can find out, how you did that.

Beautiful, black and white was my daughter's wedding theme. I particularly like the flourishes on the design. Edwina
What a stunning card. Love the ribbon work for the boarder. The Black and White combo give this wedding card a modern twist - but by changing the stamp the card could be adapted for any occasion.

sue another fab card I just love Black and White
Ita
That ribbon alone could hold it's own for a card. What a gorgeous design and very elegant.
The way your embellishments compliment the frame and painted flourishes is just outstanding. Those two alone would have been perfect, but that extra step of "I do" just seals the deal!
So very pretty and classy...
Beautiful card Sue! Your ribbon work is gorgeous!
Yes this is very elegant! Love the cake and the cute 'I DO' sentiment!

Hi Sue,
I agree white and black makes for a very elegant and classy wedding card.
I love the ribbon plaiting, I have your dvd and finally managed to get the hang of it myself, I used it on my parents 40th anniversary card. It got so many lovely comments from friends and family.
So I decided to use the technique the make Christmas wreaths on cards for my close family and friends. I have had so many thank you letters and lovely comments, I was grinning from ear to ear.. lol.
Thats what I really love about crafting, you can really make someones day, which makes my day too.
love and hugs,
Dawn x
Hi Sue, I love this card, as my Son's getting married in two months this is very inspirational. Love the sentiment xx

One of your best cards yet, absolutely stunning. The ribbon is a gorgeous feature of the card as well as the swirls.
I have always loved black and white. As a wedding planner when i use to suggest it for weddings as a theme, i always got funny looks, but once set it always looks amazing. There is a certain crispness about it.
Love the flourishes. Bali. xx
I love black and white, very elegant.

Another fab card Sue.
I've just made a card for my niece's wedding day and it is black, white and silver as that is her colour theme for the day. Hope she likes it - it's rather unusual!
Will be posting it on my card blog after the wedding.
This really is a very elegant card! I especially love the swirls! They are just the right touch!
xoxo Karen
Hi Sue, Another very classy card. I was trying to work out which die you'd used for the border, then I read it was real lace! - goes to show how realistic Spellbinder dies are, doesn't it! I am another who would have liked to buy the Moroccan dies but already have the Grand Calibur. Oh well, more for the wish list - it grows by the day! Am enjoying the shows but it's strange to see Sue's cards without Sue! You are missed!
Sue x
That is a beautiful card ... very inspiring design ...thanks for dropping by my blog.
very beautiful card Sue! just love the ribbon and the swirls.
Luanne
