I used the Lace Vintage stamps by Justrite and stamped the background with a clear perfect medium pad to get just a watermark effect. Once stamped, I used the Interlocking Circles folder to add texture over the stamping to the background. I matted it with a thin black mat. Next I stamped the pieces for my centre buckle effect. Again, I used the same stamp, but this time I embossed it with black powder. I cut out three of these using the Vintage Labels Three by Justrite, using two dies from the set to cut frames into these. I arranged the three frames and wove the blue satin edged ribbon through them creating my buckle. I carefully added mounting foam to the back and attached them down the centre of the card. I stamped my sentiment and decorative surround using a black Archival ink on to the blue card and cut it out with the Vintage Labels four die. I attached it in the centre with mounting foam and added some flatback black pearls as accents. I tied a double bow and added it at the top of the card using glue dots. I added a fancy black button from my craft stash to the centre of the bow as an embellishment. Finally finishing my card with a double blue pierced mat and some black pearls in the corners. Finished dimensions are 7" x 8 1/2" in size. All for now, Sue x

Thank you for another awe inspiring card take care Kitty
Hi Sue. Lovely card, and I love satin edged ribbon. (Love your embossed background. I still can't double emboss, it always goes horribly wrong!) The periwinkle blue may be hard to photo but I think you have got it, looks beautiful on my screen, not purple at all:) Glad you're feeling a bit better Pam. Take care.
Another gorgeous card, fabulous colour Sue

Morning Sue, morning Wilsonettes, start of a new week and a new set of W.O.W's (Wonder Of Wilson) cards. And what a wonder to start the week with, and we all wonder how on earth they can get any better, but every day we are amazed by what we see. Im always amazed by my creations I must admit ! How can one idea turn into something totally different, and nothing like you first planned ! I love the delicate shade of blue, and I think black goes with any colour, helps to add subtle drama to any card or project, and there is always some kind of drama as soon as I start making !! I swear I hear the evil laughter coming from my 'stock' cupboard when the guilding flakes know Im in the vacinity, extra strong tape suddenly dislodges itself over my card and wont let go no matter how nice I talk to it ! So drama, yep every time !
Ive decided it will all change next year, no crafty item will take control so watch out guilding flakes, adhesive tape, oh yes and you adhesive paper, you wont win, not now I have the Wilsonettes behind me !
One thing that does concern me, and has for a few days now - Jen is it - crafty keepsakes, lost her mojo, now someone MUST have it somewhere ! Can you all look in your craft room, in your storage boxes, where you keep your craft stash, and help in any way you can.
Once you've posted your comment and turned everywhere upside down looking for MOJO, would you add your destination, Im sure Sue would LOVE to know where we all live, and it would be lovely to help and pick up Crafty Keepsakes spirits by helping her find MOJO again.
How about we all start mojo'ing tomorrow and our Pam can start us all off as she does everyday ?
What do you say, we can be The Wonderful Wilsonettes if we want to be
How can we help you CRAFTY KEEPSAKE ?
Sending love and smiles to everyone this Monday.
Lancashire Steph xxx
morning Sue
Once again a wonderful way to start the week with one of your famous buckle cards.
Still haven't managed to get mine to look half decent but will keep on trying.
I love everything about today's gift including the absence of white.
Trying to finish off all my C.cards today.
Janet x
Great card Sue Never tried a buckle card I really must give it a go The ribbon is lovely and the periwinkle blue does look blue on my fone but Ibet it looks better in real life
Morning Sue,
Very special looking card. X
Gorgeous card Sue,the stamping is ace and the periwinkle blue card is beautiful.xx
Very striking card x
Good morning Sue. What a lovely colour. As usual a beSutiful card. Xx
Hi Sue
Beautiful card today so pretty and loving the blue colour.
Hugs Annx without an "e"
Good morning sue,
I see that you didn't quite get out of your comfort zone as you have done a different buckle card. The periwinkle card maybe hard to photograph because its a subtle soft blue and i can't wait to see it in the flesh or card rather. I see why you were so wanting to use the ribbon as its blue having the satin edges to it.
Nice to see you back Pam, hope you're feeling a bit better.
Love and crafty hugs
Norah
Lovely card today and the colours are gorgeous. Hugs to all Sonia x
Hi Sue,
Fabulous card - I take it that the background is white, embossed for a watermark effect and embossed with the interlocking circles.... or is the background periwinkle blue? It must be my monitor, shall look at it again on my ipad.........
Target xmas cards today - 5! (but I bet I get lost in one or the other and won't achieve it)
Hugs, Rose
Lovely card Sue X happy crafting.
gorgeous card love the background and of course the ribbon xx hazel
Another lovely card Sue-still trying to finish my xmas ones.Seems like they are never ending!take care,x.
Morning Sue, a gorgeous card. I can see what you mean about the ribbon, very pretty. I hope you had a good weekend. Kind regards Joanne K x
Very pretty card, love the periwinkle blue!
Looking for MOJO ? I find just looking at Sue's cards whets my appetite to get going, I start off trying to copy a card and then my own ideas kick in and I end up with something quite different and very satisfying!
beautiful card and inspiration is gratefully accepted where ever it comes from.
HI Sue,
Love everything about this card. Thank you.
Much love,
Shirley T.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Morning Sue and everyone.
Another beautiful card although it looks lilac on my screen, still lovely though. Love that ribbon!
Hugs Sue x
Hi Sue
Lovely card and a change to see a buckle card in portrait style instead of landscape. Really liking the periwinkle card too.
Hi Sue (again),
Just read Lancashire Steph's comments - she makes me laugh every single day - brilliant. Haven't found Mojo here in Mid Wales - depends how quick it runs!!!
Much love,
Shirley T. xxxxxxxxxx

Love the ribbon, and the Periwinkle does look lilac, but I have the blue so I can imagine what it is!
SO glad Pam is better, its tradition now that she is 1st!

Love Marg
Hi Sue
Love how you've done todays card. Love the colour, and it looks blue on my computer. Must try to make some buckles one day soon.

Hi Sue,
Another fabulous card, I have said many times that I'm not a fan of big bows but on this card it looks just right. Love the periwinkle blue card, don't tend to use blue much myself but after seeing your wonderful creation I think I'll be using it more.
Have a good day.

Lovely card, love the stamped and embossed background
Best wishes, Pat
Beautiful card and using different techniques. I hope I get lots of craft for Christmas, to add to my gorgeous craft room my husband decorated for me. I'm so lucky. hugs x
Morning Sue,
So unusual not to see the white background on a card you have made but today's card does not lack the stunning quality of your design. The colour is just so very pretty.
Love Sheila xx
Fabulous design Sue - I love the buckle effect. I can see this as a white on white card for a wedding too - very elegant. Pat x
Hi Sue,
Sometimes you have to step out of your comfort zone and it reveals great result when you do.
Alison B. x
Hi Sue. What a wonderful card today !! The periwinkle blue card looks fab on my screen !! I do not have it but it looks a really lovely shade of blue. I think I may have to get some. I love this buckle card Sue. The background stamping looks great and you have used a die shape I would never have thought of using for your main buckle centre piece. A really great card Sue. The ribbon is beautiful and I can see why you wanted to make a card from it. It is strange not seeing any coconut white or milk on one of your cards but I love it !! The black just accents everything perfectly.
Lancashire Steph it is always a pleasure to read your comments. I think the best way to get your MOJO back is to copy another card that you really like. As you start to go in to your own little crafty world you start to have fun and relax then you start trying out ideas of your own. Before you know it you have made a beautiful card and you have given it your own personal twist !! You have forgotten the stresses and worries that you were thinking of and let go of them. Once your self confidence has returned then your MOJO is safely back in your head ready for your next crafty project !!
That's just how I try to do it anyway. I live in Kent but I am only about 10 miles from London. Happy crafting every one. Lots of love Tres x x x
Buckle cards still seem to be my favourites and this one is not exception, I love it, especially as blue is also a fav. colour.
Hello Sue
Another stunning card. Love the ribbon feature. xx
Hello Sue,
Love the periwinkle blue card with the beautiful blue ribbon they really do compliment each another.
Some times it's good to move out of our comfort zone and create something just that little bit different from our usual style, and what you have created here for us is just stunning - I just love it all.
Take care, love Brenda xxx
Good morning Sue, the blue is such a lovely shade and no wonder you wanted to use the ribbon for something special. Loving the background you have created, love from Jackie D
Hi Sue
Very pretty.

Love the periwinkle,Sue. A delightful change.
Ok lady Wilsonettes ! I read that a couple of you have been searching for our friend Crafty Keepsakes MOJO (aka Jan) I think, but others have not. We know MOJO just aint in Wales so we HAVE to keep searching - CRAFTY KEEPSAKE needs help her MOJO has left and she isnt in the spirit to find it, Im putting out an S.O.S.
I checked (carefully) in my stash cupboard but the guilding flakes started laughing evily at me, but no MOJO.
Keep looking lady Wilsonettes we have spirits to raise this week. Maybe tomorrow for our Leader's benefit can we add to our COMMENT our home area, then we'll know that MOJO still needs looking for ! Nothing worse than your MOJO leaving home, and not feeling upto looking for it. CRAFTY KEEPSAKE - you are amongst friendly crafters, you are NOT alone love xx
Lancashire Steph xx
It is beautiful ribbon Sue, and a beautiful card. Very pretty periwinkle.
Although the colours are not showing up as blue and black on my PC it still looks gorgeous xx the blue looks off white and the black looks brown!! strange xx but as I say it doesn't take away from the concept of the card xx GailT xx
Hi Sue i love this card the periwinkle is gorgeous with the watermark effect then embossed just lovely. The buckle cards are always a favourite .
Hugs Lynda Brock xxx
Hi Lancashire Steph I also have looked for crafty keepsakes MOJO in Broadstairs Kent with not much luck if she try's to recreate one of Sue's cards that always helps for me you. Xx
Great card Sue.
Lovely card Sue xxxx
Lovely card Sue xxxx
Another very different card today, Sue, and inspired by a length of ribbon!! Sorry all you non-lovers of bows - it's really great, and a new take on a buckle card - just fine without any white.
Well, we all know to go to Myra's hair salon for MOJO, but where is it?
Confirm only a slight bit of MOJO in (surprise surprise) south west Wales and none extra worth having!!
'P'in Wales (via various bits of southern England)
Pam upto you in the morning Mrs P 6am start. Start looking for MOJO and where you are looking from (Wales/ Scotland/Bornio etc then not only will CRAFTY KEEPSAKE know we are here to help, our Sue will know where her Wilsonettes are tap tap tapping away from and drewling all over her work ! Messy - but someone has to do it : ) xxx
Look forward to reading posts from ALL over tomorrow.
Love ya
Lancashire Steph (the annoying one) xx
Beautiful card today Sue, love the colours, textures and design, the bow is just great and I love the buckle.
Craftihappiness to you all, love from Pearl
Hmmmm, pretty ribbon for inspiration but I'm not keen on the bow ;)
Hi Sue
This card is stunning Sue and such a striking colour combo. I really love the bow. A card for any occasion.
Hi Lancashire Steph, are'nt you lovely.
Jen (Krafty Keepsakes). I have a spare piece of MoJo hanging around in my craft room, and you are more than welcome to it, so I am sending it to you from Wiltshire with best wishes for a speedy return of Your MoJo, and now you have a little to spare.
Kind regards. :-)

Sorry Sue this one is not for me (too heavy looking),so not into the black.

Hi Sue
That ribbon is gorgeous. Too good to not use it! Designing your card around it was a good idea. Some of the best cards start this way, being built around something. Loving the periwinkle blue. Thank you for sharing your inspiration with us.
Hi Sue, a beautiful card. lol lynne m x x x x
A beautiful card in a gorgeous shade of blue. x
Really affective very nice card.

Stunning card. You notice the Periwinkle with the up close photo. The ribbon is beautiful and the colour periwinkle is stunning all put together makes 1 stunning card
Take care

What a beautiful result you got, the satin edge ribbon is shown off perfectly in this. xx
Hi Sue,
I Promised myself that I wouldn't say I love this I love that as I sound like a broken record, I've even tried to think of other words that I could use for your Awesome work.
Today's Card is extremely Classy Opulent,.
I think that the Black and New Periwinkle Card go together so well, I'm enjoying seeing the Backgrounds where you have embossed to give Watermark Look and then Using Your Overlocking Circles Embossing Folder it looks great very effective indeed, then using the heating Embossing on your Buckle and you Topped it With The Most Outstanding Bow, and I'm sorry but I've failed, I Love It, I Love everything about it, Sue you are the Best and always will be love from Sam x
Hi Sue, I still haven't tried the buckle effect yet, but this sample as made me make my mind up to try it out. I love the blue shade and the background effect. Wishing you safe journey back to our shores. Edwina
gorgeous colour combo, beautiful card x
Beautiful card Sue, just love the colour, the ribbon is beautiful too.

Hi Sue, a very different colour way from you today, the blue satin ribbon is beautiful and goes so well with the periwinkle card and the buckle style as always lovely.

Evening lovely Wilsonettes, thanks to those in the search party, still looking for the missing MOJO that our CRAFTY KEEPSAKE has lost. Try and keep your chin up CK (chins in my cas) we will resume the search tomorrow, plus Pam 6am is going to start the Country/worldwide search, so hopefully by the end of our day, both Sue and our fellow Wilsonettes will know where we've searched, so dint despair CK with our help and support, we all hope that your MOJO returns with its tail between its legs to allow you to enjoy your craftyness again.
BIG hugs.
Lancashire Steph xx
Have a relaxing evening everyone, and dont forget MOJO search resumes at 6am xx
What a good idea for a card! Think I might do it in that beautiful blue (if I can get the card -can't find a supplier yet) with white or pearl. Can't really get myself into black!! Just not brave enough LOL.
Can you tell us where we can buy this and other card please?
Janet (from Kent)
What a lovely colour Periwinkle Blue is! You have every right to be pleased with your creation. I often begin with one idea and end up with something else entirely. Mostly I have no idea what caused the change of tack! LOL
