Good Friday morning and Happy Wedding Day to Kate and Will! 
I’m so excited for the both of them and can’t wait until this afternoon.
Today is the third Just For Fun® Friday and Kat chose the colors for this week’s challenge.
We really do want people to play along with us, and hope that you join us and post a link on the Just For Fun® Blog. We’re gearing up for the launch of the new Just For Fun® web site which will be April 15th, and there will be some special things happening that day!
For my card today, I decided to add red as the color of my choice. For some reason it’s difficult for me not to use red with black and cream/white. 
I even pulled out some of my favorite 7 Gypsies paper to use.
The flower was the first thing I worked on after picking my paper. It was embossed in gold and then water colored with Distress Inks. Once I had settled on a layout, the flower was die/cut embossed using Spellbinders™ Labels Eight, distressed and sponged with Vintage Photo. I felt there needed to be something behind the flower, and used Spellbinders™ Labels Eleven to make another layer. Then, that layer needed a little something something, so I added a sentiment and a vintage button from my stash. I couldn’t resist using the ivory silk ribbon as a finishing touch.

That’s all I have for today, I need to get ready for the wedding . . . flowers to pick up, find clothes that fit appropriate to wear, blah blah blah. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the adventures that come your way today . . . remember, life is short!
Not sure why, but the first thing I thought of when I saw your creation was New Orleans, and no, I have never been there. But the black lace made me think of the wrought iron work and the deep colours I have seen in the pics from there. And every pic of the city always shows a lot of flowers. The ‘dream’ sentiment seems to fit too!
Love it! Thanks for sharing Sherry! :o)
And what a beauty it is, again.
Wonderfull.
The red really makes the whole card pop. This is a beautiful card Sherry, I like how you hung the tag from the button. Nice work. Have fun at the wedding. TFS!!! 😀
Absolutely beautiful! Love the colors!
All best wishes and dreams to Kate and Will. This card is gorgeous. Have a great day for all the wedding experience.
Hi Sherry –
You must be over the moon with excitement about the wedding? What a great day, to see your little girl get married. Wishing them all the happiness in the world and may they always feel the way they do today.
I love your card. That background paper is just beautiful, Harlequin designs are one of my favorites. The card has a Venetian/Renaissance feel to it. Just beautiful.

Congrats on adding MOTHER IN LAW to your many titles!! hehe…..And congrats to Kate and Will!!
The card is just incredible. I love the red for the pop of color and I really like the extra “empty” frame….you pull that off so well!!
This is so gorgeous, Sherry! I love how you attached the tiny tag to the button! Have a great wedding day today!! Many blessing to the bride and groom!!!
Sherry – love your grungy card – it’s fabulous – making me jealous!!! You has such an awesome style! Have a great day at your daughters wedding!

Love it! It’s a beaut! Enjoy your weekend!
Great minds think alike!! That black and mottled cream harlequin diamond background paper is in my stash and hoarded like gold – I LOVE that paper!! And the card DOES feel like New Orleans! I can say that after having lived their for 25 years. It is gorgeous!
Congrats to the newly weds and I just love your card. I have some of that paper, you might have just inspired me to pull it out and use it. hugs
This is just beautiful!!!!
More beauty than I can stand. Your card is so nice. I love your attention to detail. I strive for that! I love the look! Congrats to your daughter and brand new hubby! You mentioned that they were going to the courthouse to get married. Here in our little town if you go to the courthouse they take you inside this huge vault and perform the wedding there. I hope they didn’t do that to Kate!
so love the pop of red against the black and cream colors, so cool!
Gorgeous!! Wow I LOVE the Red–it really makes the card pop! Beautiful papers! Love all the details!!
Stunning creation, as always, Miss Sherry!
Hope Kate and gang will consider allowing you to post some wedding pics ~ we’d all love to share in her Happy Day! Congratulations :0)
Sherry, that is one gorgeous card!
Hugs and smiles
