ReplyDeleteA quick, easy and fantastic gift today - you are spoiling us Sue - as yet another 'guy' card goes into the pot.
Your buckle cards are really something and the colour scheme can be altered to suit any occassion and any sport. Today's sentiment is certainly one to cherish as it is so true.

ReplyDeleteHello Sue, Such a dramatic card, love the colour combo and how you have used the cut offs in the corners. The sentiment is so true. My Holly Berry die and stamps arrived yesterday, they are gorgeous, I will be having a play at some point. Will be watching Julia later, she is brilliant.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day everyone
Hugs June xxx
Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteNow I do have to say I am not a fan of buckle cards and I really don't know why. However that said I usually find the cards can be made without the buckle - I know! You are thinking it defeats the object! ROFL!
But it means I can still try your ideas with out the buckle effect just by removing the strap. I can still appreciate the rest of the card.

ReplyDeleteGood morning Sue,
ReplyDeleteWhat a very powerful card the black read and white has made, very striking. I love how just with a different colour scheme something can go from being pretty,pretty to beautiful like a wedding card( the buckles binding the two as one) to strong and powerful that could be sent to someone of that type of nature. Beautiful again Sue,

ReplyDeleteGood morning Sue and everyone.
ReplyDeleteGreat card. Like the dramatic colour combo.
Will miss Julia as I had booked dentist based on her show being 11am. Then C&C changed it to 10. As they have gone off freeview at 6pm again, I shall also miss that show. Most annoying and not great for Julia if other folks are in the same boat.x
What - no bows or flowers today?!!! This is a stunning card and very suitable for many occasions. thank you for letting us know about Julia's shows today.
