Wow! It's hard getting a picture uploaded tonight!
This is my card for the VSN Challenge: Falling in Love.
As many of my SCS friends know, my DH and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary this past July -- except that we didn't celebrate, as I was in one state and he was in another. So I made this card for him, and I will give it to him when we do get to celebrate!
The black ribbon in the middle is supposed to be reminiscent of a garter like I wore on our wedding day.
I used Everyday Flexible Phrases -- one teeny stamp (but a BIG word with meaning for me!)! I love that set because you can make just about any sentiment you need or want!
It's dark now, so there are more shadows in the picture than I would like -- but I think you get the general idea of the card! Thanks for the challenge, Kim!

I love the embossed couple! I wish they still made Black Tie paper...one of my faves. The ribbon embellishments look great- did you really wear a black garter???? I like the picture composition with your rings on the left. You're good at this!

Wow, gorgeous card . . . touching story . . . and a beautiful display for your picture with just the right background and your rings at the side--nice touch!
I love how you stuck with black and white. This made it absolutely perfect!! Great job, and the ribbon does look like a garter in the center. I am sure it will bring back memories for your DH too! Congratulations on 25 years!!! That is awesome!

Oh Judy, this card is just so beautiful. It bought tears to my eyes just looking at it and thinking what it symbolises for you. Elegant colours too. Black and white is perfect!
