Good morning all! I love my buckle cards so this one just had to be made didn't it! I started with a piece of decorative paper with a small floral print from my stash. I covered it with a self adhesive sticky sheet and micro beaded it for some lovely texture. I cut two of my Vintage Lace borders in coconut white card and glued them along the top and bottom of the card edges to frame my buckle elements. I added 5mm white flatback pearls to the holes in the border dies as accents. I stamped three of the Happy Birthday Vintage Labels Four designs on white card using a clear perfect Medium pad. I heat embossed all three with white powder and cut them into frames using the Vintage Labels four dies. While still in the die, I inked them with Tattered Rose distress ink which allowed the white embossed areas to show up nicely. I cut a white strip of card and stamped the ends with a filigree stamp before I wove it through the dies, the outside ones turned one way and the centre one turned the opposite way. I added some mounting foam to the back of the strip and added them to the background. I stamped my sentiment from the Justrite set called What I Like About You by Becca Feeken and cut it out with the Nobel Rectangle dies. I inked it with Tattered Rose as well and mounted it in the middle of my buckle element. I finished the card with a double white mat with my paper pierced inner layer. Finished dimensions are 7" x 8 1/2" in size.

ReplyDeleteToday's gift is so gentle and such a wonderful way to start the day with a Sue Wilson Buckle Card.
The beautiful muted colours can be used for any gender and any occasion. I am still trying to achieve a buckle card which looks somewhat similar to yours but it still doesn't happen. Ah well will keep trying.
Waiting with anticipation for your news.

Not sure if my computer screen shows up the color that well because it looks a bit "dirty" to my eye. The vintage lace die is great but the color not to my taste..

Oooh exciting! Lovely card too. xx
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, a gorgeous card. Pretty, delicate and very feminine.
ReplyDeleteGood afternoon Sue,
ReplyDeleteI do like your buckle cards as i see them as a good card either as a wedding card ( the 2 outer buckles represent bride and groom as single with the middle buckle combining them as a couple) or as a baby card (mum and dad completed with baby as centre buckle making them complete.) As you can see very vivid imagination is alive and well in this household.
Love the card Sue and i'm really taken with Becca's designs as you transform them into little works of art.
Love and crafty hugs
Norah
Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteThe buckle effect is a good way of filling the space on a larger card using one die.
Thank you for sharing.

Hi Sue,
