I tried - I failed!

Photo Details
Poster: imastampin

 Oh, this is so not what I had envisioned. I really wanted to make a more masculine card today. I failed - femininity just kept butting in! Oh well, I like the result. I'll have to do masculine at a later date.

I used a bit of the happiness background stamp as my main image. I used a lot of cuttlebug embossing folder Diamonds in the Rough for texture on this card. I distressed the edges of the one red layer with my freakishly strong wolverine fingernails. lol I seem to be reaching for red, black and white a lot lately. It's a good combo, how can I say no? And I didn't even use clear embossing powder this time! Now that is a shock! Thanks for looking.

What do you think?

wow-WOW-I Love it...but I also understand what you are trying to do!
Try the same card with just the ribbon without the bow!
I still give this A two thumbs-up

Karen, these colors are so striking and it's a beauty even if it might not be the masculine card you envisioned!!
