Hi friends, Labels 28 again today but in a lighter fare. I used a piece of grey tonal patterned paper for my background. I then cut two of the Blossom Corners from Heartfelt Creations out of coconut white card. I glued them into place so they created a lacy backdrop for my buckle card. Using the Labels 28 die set, I cut three frames, two slightly smaller than the centre one. On the larger centre frame, I stamped first using the Blossom Frame from the Stamps To Die For Range and a clear perfect medium pad. I heat embossed it with Silver Shine Embossing powder, then cut it out with the coordinating dies. I cut a forked flag and wove it through the three frames and centred it across them. Next I stamped my sentiment from the All In The Family Sentiment set from JustRite stamps. I cut it out with the oval from the Radiant Rectangles set. I used the inner decorative insert die with it for a bit more detail. While it was still in the die, I used Brushed Pewter Distress Stain on a piece of cut 'n dry foam to highlight the sentiment. I mounted it with 3D foam across the three frames to complete my focal element. I added a darker grey mat, then finished the card with a double mat of coconut white card with an inner pierced mat. I hope you like it! Finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x 8" in size.Thank you for all the lovely comments left on the giveaway card day. The winner is:
Lacelady!!!

Hello Sue
Not sure about this card! Like others have said colour doesn't do it for me it seems to lack that va va voom we have come to expect from you my love.
I don't think it would cheer me up very much to receive it sadly maybe the photo doesn't do it justice and in the flesh it may be beautiful, but I can appreciate the construction and the use of the dies here so don't be down hearted with my comment :)
Congrats to the winner of the card the lucky girl!!

Lovely card, loving the grey! Lv norma
A lovely delicate card today ,very pretty ! Well done laceylady !
Crafty hugs Rachel x
It's an interesting card, but I felt that the grey colour needed edging ,but as above the photo may be the problem.
Hi Sue
Not sure about this one. I like the construction of it but not the colour. I feel it is too somber for the sentiment. To me it looks like a sympathy card and a very nice one at that! Sorry Sue it's just me!!!
Good Morning Sue,
Beautiful card, layout is lovely, the grey is unusual, not my first choice, but it works, just lovely.
Congratulations Lacelady!
Have a great day everyone.
Michelle(happy2craft)
GM Sue - maybe it's just a grey card on a grey day syndrome - bet it looks wonderful in real life - welldone LaceLady - I am envious. At least the wet weather means today is a crafty day. I tried the double embossing of the garden lattice folder yday - lovely. Thanks for that idea.

What a beautiful gift for today. The whole card is so dainty and fragile looking and what Mum wouldn't want to receive this.
The colour scheme is so delicate and of course it's one of your 'buckle cards' so what more can I say.
Will definitely find this corner die today - that is my mission!!!
Janet x
My favourite card this week, I really like the grey colour, makes the card very elegant. I also love the fact that there is no bow in sight to take away the focus from the be beautiful sentiment and use of dies. Xx PS more cards without bows please :)

Hi Sue. Love your use of those corner dies, so clever. Great card, very elegant but I think it is one of those that just doesn't photo well as it looks a bit dull on my screen. I know if I saw it in the flesh, as it were, it would be lovely. Congrats to Lacelady, you lucky thing. Take care.
Morning Sue, I have never used grey in my crafting, but I am coming round to it when I see how lovely you make it look, a very pretty card. Have a restful weekend.
Love Rosemarie Fishlock xx
Lovely card, I really love the blossom corner dies and the grey is a beautiful colour xx
I love the way you're using the Blossom corners in unusual ways. Very effective. Who would have thought that grey would be so nice!!
Very pretty Sue. Love how you've put together 3 frames to make a larger frame.
Hi Sue
A very pretty card, I have some grey card in my stash, so must get it out and use it.
Congratulations to the winner of the card.
Happy crafting

Morning Sue, Think this is a very classy card. Not everyone likes colour and bows. I love that you give us so many styles of cards.
Thanks
Janice
Very subtle card that is unusual-not sure the card looks its best apart from in some of the close ups.
Hi Sue
Love the grey on grey today. I do like the way you have used the lacy corner die to make a lacy effect. Hopefully I shall see tomorrow's offering as we shall be off to the Lake District for a week if my partner gets the all clear to go from the doctors today.
So will have to catch up when I get back.
Morning Sue,
You seem to have split your bloggers this morning. I'm in the loving the colour camp it's beautiful, I use grey quite a lot, it goes with so many other colours.

Good Morning Sue, such a wonderful card, gorgeous dies and the silver and white together is striking. Fabulously designed, Kate x
Hello Sue, Love the way you have used the corner die - you really have taught me to look at my dies in a different way. A corner die is never a corner die unless that's is where it is placed!!!
This is a very elegant card - I just love it!

I've always loved every one of your buckle cards, and this is no exception, though I think I'd have put the sentiment lower, so the buckle showed up it's construction more. Love the soft colours too, and thrilled to bits I've won your giveaway - I've never been successful writing in to C&C. Thank you so much.
Love this card - classic and elegant!
Thanks, Susan
This is a really pretty colour combination card. Love the buckle design and this is definitely one I shall be copying, thank you Sue, YvonneMayxx
Hi Sue! Hello everyone! What can you say? Gorgeous! The tone on tone with grey and silver looks stunning! Grey is one of those colours that you forget to use. Nice reminder to get it out and compliment it with other colours too like yellow and pink. Beautiful, rich looking card Sue. Congratulations to Lacelady on winning the giveaway card! Wonderful and no doubt you will treasure it too. XX Love Karen xx
Hi Sue,
I love the layered effect.

Hi Sue, again only one word need, "classy". I love it

Afternoon Sue,
Another beautiful card today. The grey is not a colour that i'd particularly reach for when doing a feminine card but i love the way thi works so well.
Congrats Lacelady
Hugs xNx
Very lacy!
Hi Sue. A lovely card today !! There is only one thing I don't like about it. and that is the colour. It looks too dull. (Sorry.) I really like the design and layout and I think it would look great in other colours. I do love your new stamp for the labels 28 as it looks beautiful embossed in gold or silver embossing powder. I really like those blossom corner dies to. Something else which may look nice is using a background folder on the two smaller labels 28 dies. Have a lovely day love Tres x x x
I love the delicate lacy look of this card Sue.
If I had a Mum I'm sure she would have loved to receive one like it.

Hello Sue,
this card is lovely, love grey, its so underused in the craft world, especially warm and cool greys.
I just bought labels 28 two days ago and its such a funny coincidence that youve used it the last two days, its an omen! A good one!
Excellent work! You do great by us loyal followers!

I have never thought of using silver as the main card colour before (it has been more of an accent colour) but how effective is THAT? Beautiful card and I think your mum will be thrilled!
