So I had a wild idea! Ever get those? Our Sponsor this month at Midnight Madness is DRS and they generously let us have our pick of stamps. One that I chose was this Christmas Bell stamp. Yup, it's Christmas bells. HOWEVER, our niece was getting married this past weekend (Congrats Shelby and Erich!) and I needed to make them a wedding card. I decided I was making Christmas bells into Wedding bells! LOL! 
Lots of Stickles again this week! I actually colored the little dinger thing inside the bell black and then used Star Dust Stickles over top. I also used Strawberry Ice Stickles on the ribbons and yummy Eucalyptus Stickles on the leaves. I was afraid the leaves might be a little Christmasy but I think they are ok.
I used my Cricut and Home Decor cartridge to cut out the 'forever' on the side and Plantin Schoolbook cartridge for the ovals.
Lots of Paper Tole going on too! I used my Big Shot and SU texture plate to add dimension to the frame. I hope my niece loves this card as much as I do!!!

Sue, it just goes to show how versitile stamps can be! You made this wedding card look spectacular and I'm sure your niece will be so happy with it. Love all the details, the forever sign is fantastic! The stickles adds some beautiful sparkle to an already gorgeous card.

This is just beautiful, Sue! Very creative use of your DRS stamp and the sketch - WTG! Absolutely exquisite!!!
These bells are gorgeous for a wedding card! Beautiful job!
Sue, this wedding card is so off the charts! Just love the bells! The design and the execution of the fine details is outstanding. I am sure that the bride will just love it as much as I do! Great job!
Brilliant! and a Happy Wedding day for your niece. I need to show this one to my dh as an endorsement for all of "stuff" we need to create!
I think I left a comment for the bells somewhere else!! I hope it was on one of your cards. (It's called a comment hop!! Check it out? I make a comment and you have to figure out which card it is for!!)

You are such a creative girl! If anyone could pull this off, it would be you, and you have done it so beautifully. You would never know that those were to be Christmas bells. I love the colors too and that gorgeous oval frame and the forever cutout. What a special keepsake for the lucky couple!
Sue...this is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!! Amazingly created, you are so talented girl!
What a gorgeous wedding card!! I love your dimension and the elegance!! Love how you turned the Christmas bells into wedding bells. Too creative!!

Well done with the wedding bell card :) who knew LOL
Priscilla
wow, I had to look twice to notice these were Christmas bells after I read it. It is stunning with all of the texture and the beautiful flowers! I think she should put it in a frame!
Sue, what a beautiful card you created. I love that you were able to take a Christmas stamp and make it into a wedding card. And a very beautiful one at that. Your neice is going to treasure it.
Gorgeous, gorgeous wedding card!!!
Great wedding card and such lovely wedding bells.

Now Sue...that is creative...using a Christmas Bell for a Wedding Bell. Never thought of that! This is awesome by the way. Gosh it is outstanding really. You do such beautiful work.

This was such a wow when I first saw it on Priscilla's blog. Great work popping up the bells. Nice touches everywhere on the card, too many to mention. And I like your pumpkin haul, one patch does take up a lot of space, doesn't it! Nothing like fresh pumpkin pie though.
