This is a closeup of the inside of the card I did for the Buckleman's BD - A wild, Wild West cowboy card! He is such a sweet "dude" to all Mrs. Buckle's friends, I figured he needed some new duds awaiting him when he rode in for the night.
This is a gatefold card, but a little tricky because I knew it HAD to have a BUCKLE on it for him, so I made one by using the MS fence punch on BOTH sides of my wraparound belt. All the trees are embossed, and so is the snow on the landscape and the cowboy, plus a little gel pen to bring out the highlights of his features. The stars in the WWW Texan sky are gold to match his buckle, and I found the inside elements in a book and cut each out to represent the BD presents that were awaiting him when he came in from the range. The belt closes from one side and the tag wishing him Happy BD is on the other side.
I figured a MAN like him, deserved the best card I could make, though I wish I have done a few things a little better, and I should have taken the picture before I wrote on the card - live and learn, right!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUCKLEMAN!!
HUGS (don't worry, nuthin' else, PAT!)
