Hi everyone! I probably should have just gone ahead and done the all white card with this one, but I just wanted a pop of colour on it and this navy blue silky crush ribbon is just delicious in real life. I could not resist it! I cut an aperture in the background with labels 24 and raised the back piece up on mounting foam. Behind the opening, I embossed a piece of white card that I had stamped my sentiment on to first. I placed this behind my aperture and cut a Heartfelt Creations Oval Window die and and nipped out the centre window crossbars and mounted it over my opening. Although, it mostly covers it, you can still see a bit of the labels 24 shape behind it and I liked that. I cut two borders using the new edgeability dies and layered them on the bottom of my card. I added rows of pearls around the to edge of the card as an accent. Using my silky crush ribbon, I tied a double bow and added a pearl embellishment from my stash to the centre. I finished off the bow with a couple of the pearl stick pins (available through any Creative Expressions stockists to answer a question from a comment left a few days ago). I finished the card with piercing around the edge to give it an elegant look. I really liked the simplicity of this card (yes, it sang to me!) All for now, Sue xTuesday, 10 April 2012

Morning sue, another beautiful card! Not sure I personally would have put the bow on it! It would mAke a beautiful wedding card! Loving the blog and reading all the comments! Jx
OMG - this card is stunningly elegant and beautiful. I love the white on white cards too and I do like the bow - so simple to replace with any other colour. Well done Sue once again
So pretty!!! I love it!
Very elegant with the big blue bow, i love it.
It´s absolutely gorgeous Sue, and it sure sings to me too. I love the big blue bow on it too, but I really think you hit the nail on all here, and it looks just awesome. I love it.
WOW!!! Stunning card, LOVE IT! Nice Simply lines, with the hint of black!! Thank you for sharing once again!
Morning Sue, I think I would prefer white on white, but this is what makes your blog so interesting you give us something to think about. To blue bow or not to blue bow? That bloggers is the question. Fantastic card with or without the blue bow. Thanks again Sue. Best wishes Lesley x
Good morning Sue this card sings to me too I love everything about it it's such a classy card
Hugs x
Good morning Sue,
A lovely card white on white with a hint of colour yummy. Change the colour and you could use it for a special wedding annaversary . It like all your cards is so versatile.
My dies arrived on Friday (lucky me), but I have not be able to play with them as hubby was on a long bank holiday. He has now gone to work so let the playing begin lol.
Have a great day Sally
Elegant Card, love it Mabex
Another wow card.
lovely card
Morning Sue,
I love this card and Navy is such an elegant colour. I am in the process of trying a white on white card atm. I'm trying it with Centura White card, but wondered if I should have used a supersmooth. Will have to try both to see which works best.
Love Chris X
hi sue another gorgeous white card love it sue xxx
Morning Sue, I think the navy ribbon accentuates the whiteness of the card, it's brilliant ! Lynn xx

Another real beautie love it xx Jan
What a scrummy pretty card - love the touch of colour with the white
Sarah x
What another fab card. I love white on white and have made a few lately but on a couple of them i've been asked to put a bit of colour so have tended to use red or lilac. But I do like this one with the much darker colour. Beautiful as usual. I might try my one next with a dark colour like this Sonia, Neath
Stunningly beautiful, this card is so beautiful. Lee x
Yes Sue it's singing to me too , absolutely stunning

Absolutely beautiful. Very elegant.
Absolutely beautiful. Very elegant.
yes white on white sings to me as well sue,they always look so clean and fresh
very elegant love the idea of only the ribbon being the colour.
Hi Sue,
lovely white card today. It could be used for weddings and anniversaries. I always include the colours of the bridesmaids on my wedding cards. So any different colour bow would look great don't you think. I just love your pearly button on top of the ribbon. I have tried recreating ones with small pearl beads and glue gel. They came out quite good but not as lovely as yours.
Have a great crafty day.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
i love this card sue xxx cant wait for next one xxx
Morning Sue, the cards true beauty sings to me also,the dark bow just sets it off a treat. Elaine H X

Hi Sue - I'm singing with you this morning! This is soooo beautiful. Like Jenny L, I tend to include the Bridesmaids colour on wedding cards and was wondering if the midnight blue chosen by my God daughter for her June wedding would work - well know I know just how beautiful it can be! Hope my version witll look just as stunning. Kathy x
Morning Sue,
What a super card I have said on past comments that I'm not a fan of big bows but this on this card I like it I think it needed that splash of colour.
Have a good day.

Love these heartfelt creation dies they are on my wish list....I love the way you have shown us how to see the dies in a different way. I think I like this die more as a frame than a window as it is intended. xx

This is what they call an 'Artistic license'...
This card is all singing and dancing to me, so elegant! love that pop of colour from the ribbon.
I think any colour from wedding theme could be incorporated i.e. the groom’s tie or brides maid dress colour, etc. Endless possibilities! Perfect!!

Georgous card. Loving the white on white. Think I'll have to get the new window die, it would be so useful. Thanks for all the inspiration. God Bless.
I've just started playing with my Pick of the Week Spellbinders and the embossing folders I ordered - they are lovely.
I am going to try to make one of your beautiful cards from the inspirations you give us on here.
Yet another stunning card Sue - white on white is fabulous - but this also looks great with the blue bow.
Absolutely love white on white cards but this is lovely with the splash of colour.

Hi Sue,love the white on white very elegant.xxphilomena xxx
Sue, this is such a beautiful card, as usual. I so love 'white on white' and your little touch with the coloured bow, really works. I have just one question though. The white card that you use always looks really good quality and looks the part. Could you possibly let us know what type of card do use that gives such stunning effects.
Thanks again Sue.
Toni xx
Love your white on white and the pop of colours works with this card.
I have been asked to make a wedding card for a Cadbury purple theme wedding and cannot come up with a elegant combination so going to layout an all white and silver card and try a big purple bow see how it looks, thanks for the inspiration.
My dies and goodies arrived today after I left to baby sit my grandchildren. The packages has been destroyed in transit AGAIN so not sure what I am going home to find.
Hope it's all there so I can have a play tomorrow.
Keep up the good work.
All the best Pauline.
Love this card Sue. The blue bow adds just the right amount of colour.
