love the feather! beautiful card!
I always think of weddings and sympathy cards. A serious and beautiful card is definitely called for.
I love how you added the feather, what a lovely natural touch!
Classy & elegant to me means anything from weddings & anniversaries to birthdays.
I love the pink/brown color combo...I never would have thought to put a feather on a card...how cool is that...everything works so well together...beautiful!
Such a beautiful card! The feather is an incredible touch! I think most people would use classy and elegant for weddings, love and anniversary. But, after looking through Card Style, I've found that Classy Elegant can be used for a lot of different events, even Christmas!
gorgeous card! love the colors and details!
I love c & e too and satin ribbon is always so eye catching. C & E cards work so well for wedding or anniversary cards I think....those very special, classy occasions deserve a classy card.
I fall in with the majority on this one. Weddings are perfect for classy and elegant cards.
Wow, this is BRILLIANT! Love the classy feather and rhinestone needles... Gorgeous card!
Amazing card - love everything about it!
I think anytime we all need a little elegance once in awhile. We can now use or wear bling anytime (even on our Crocs :)
Thanks for sharing and love your style

Beautiful card! Weddings are the first thing I think of for elegant, but any occasion can work. Love the reason you go towards elegant :>)
I think the obvious answer is..... any occasion! But of course, you can't go past a classy and elegant card for a wedding right?!
An elegant card is definatly suited for a wedding! LOVE your card!
I think classy and elegant cards are very well suited to engagements/weddings and some birthday cards- depending on the person!

I find that classy/elegant can be used for most any occasion depending on to whom I am sending it. I do not make a classy elegant card for a child - theirs' tend to be fun or graphic.
Absolutely stunning Windy! I LOVE that feather detail!
Simply delish! Loving that feather! I can't say I have a style I like so many different techniques I can never stick to one I am a crafty butterfly I never know what I will come up with next ;0)
Love Dawn xx

I think the elegant, classic style is most suited for Birthday cards!
love your card - I think classy and elegant reminds me of wedding and mature birthdays!
I think classy elegant cards are best for weddings and sympathy cards. Quite a range on the continuum, isn't it? I'm not good at classy elegant. Your card just shouts classy and elegant. See? I'm shouting--not classy or elegant lol!
Love It! Your card is so different - love your style! tfs

So pretty, thanks for sharing.
I think that the style is perfect for any romantic event - wedding, anniversary, valentines.
I honestly can't think of an occasion where a classy, elegant card wouldn't be the perfect style choice. It's like pearls, or a little black dress...always in style, always appropriate, always admired.
Neat! I don't think I've ever imagined using a feather like that! Very interesting! Thanks for sharing!

It's always good to of outside of your comfort zone and try something new, a different style.

beautiful card and this card can be used for all the time depending on the person/people you are gifting :)
Classy and elegant - well any occasion, but particularly wedding, special birthday, anniversary etc
Classy and elegant works great for a sympathy card I think.
I tend to use elegant and classy for sympathy, wedding and bridal showers. I have used it for baby showers if the mother has an elegant style about her.
Gorgeous card. I'm thinking a wedding card would be well suited.
Very elegant- perfect for an anniversary or wedding.
I think a classy and elegant card is perfect for a wedding, but also for any other occasion too!.

Weddings by far are Classy and Elegant to me!
A classy, elegant card is perfect for weddings! I simply wish I could make them look as stunning as you :)
For weddings, anniversaries and some thank yous and older relatives cards!
Beautiful! I love damask!
Great card. The first occasion that comes to mind for an elegant card is, of course, a wedding. But thinking longer on it, there are many occasions that an elegant card can be given. I really like to give elegant cards at Christmas.
Thanks for the inspiration and the opportunity,
