Oh Crap!

I tend to say "oh crap" a lot when I'm making cards. That's not always a bad thing. Many of my errors have led to some interesting discoveries like the error I made on this card. Can you pick it out?

I was CASing one of the cards from my Beyond the Season holiday card class which was made with DSP and wondered if it would look too plain in card stock. Since the card is supposed to look quilted I embossed the card front with Stampin' Up's new Triangle Embossing Folder but I put the card front into the folder face up instead of face down and got embossed lines instead of pillows. Oh crap! I put it back into the folder the opposite way hoping the old lines would flatten out and wouldn't be noticable. As luck would have it, not only did the old lines show but they're almost centred inside the pillows. I thought it looked kind of cool so lets pretend I planned it that way. Seems to me you've heard those words from me before.

I think your "plan" works marvelously! It's a great card with plain CS and the double embossing looks wonderful!

Oh crap....you are very nice...when I am complaining to myself I am not so nice!!! Your card looks fabulous - never would have guessed anything wrong...but then you are the creator and we are always most critical of our own work!!! Great card and yes it looks wonderful with 'just' card stock!

I like the double quilted effect! Actually the down side would be kinda similisr to quitling as when the thread goes in to the quilt the likes are indented a bit!

That is not a bad word, it just means ugh. This was a word accepted in our household it meant stuff like dust bunnies, a spot missed in dusting and anything else we neede not to say a for a awear word.
