Silver Belt Buckle Thanks Card

I have been very involved in the horse industry for oh 25 years now. In the early 1990s I showed at Zone and Open shows, but by the mid 1990s I was competing at the AQHA breed level and later switched to reining so also added NRHA shows.

When I saw this spellbinders group of dies I knew they would make perfect simulated belt buckle cards. I own S5-077 Labels 25 and use S5-210 Adorning Labels 25 for the "engraving" look (shown in the last picture, a tri-metal buckle I won in 2011). You have to own S5-077 as S5-210 has no external cut dies, so they work together. None of my affiliates carry S5-077, so I suspect it might be a discontinued die set.

Belt Buckles are often two tone and sometimes three metal tones, silver and gold, or silver and rose gold. I made this one silver and gold. I then created a leather look background from craft paper using a filigree dry emboss folder that has I applied Distress Ink Walnut Stain to. I finished the look off with rhinestuds and pearls.
