Birthday card - masculine

Hello everyone!
Thanks for stamping by.

Here is another project share to catch you up on - a masculine birthday card. I used a navy blue panel and drew lines with a Versamark pen. I used gold embossing powder over the lines. I embossed a coordinating birthday sentiment in the same gold embossing powder.

In honesty, I was expecting cleaner lines. I used a ruler and an embossing buddy, but I still had a lot of stray powder flecks. I like it effect, but at the same time I don't. At the time, I wasn't' have to try and make the card again (had to make and give it the same day).

The recipient never knows what you had in mind didn't turn out like you thought. They just know you took the time to make a handmade card with them in mind! That's the bigger gift (IMO).

Tell me:
When something doesn't quite work out for your card, what do you do? Leave a comment below.
