Well bearing in mind.............................

I always say I don't like making male cards............................

here is yet another one........................

 

now I realise that this isn't a brilliant photo so I have taken another couple but can you spot the difference??....................................

apart from that the stamping that is in a slightly different place (only just noticed that) lol!!


This card is my general male card for this year (fortunately I don't send too many male cards) and only three to male relative which I try and make personal to them.

To try and save time I inked through the stencil once and then moved it along the cardstock without cleaning it and inked through it again so I could heat emboss the card in one go.  Well I'm not sure if I turned the stencil back to front but the ink caught in the places it was not supposed too!!

At first I thought I was going to have to cut this bit off and 'file' it but decided that I actually quite like it (I think it is known as 'A Happy Accident')!!  I was also going to cut the corners off the background to match the card blank but again decided I quite liked it as it was - so left well alone - which was a bonus because then I didn't have to try and match the cuts up.

A very simple card to make and fab for batch making - especially if you clean your mask off in between inking with Versamark!!
