You are very good at these techniques (I have tried them and they never turn out any good, I tried the one that you did that I had also seen Jennifer McGuire do, with the stamping and heat embossing with dies, and it turned out a complete mess!!). When I have done anything and it has been upside down, or inside out, I have just cut the whole of the front of the card off and re-mounted it to a new card base! Thank you for continuing to pop by my blog and leaving your sweet comments, it means a lot to me, especially now, when my blogging and visits are so sporadic! I'm hoping Mum will be strong enough for me to ease off a little next year and I can get back to blogging proper again! Have a lovely weekend!

And why is it that our first thought is not to cut it down and instead we try to pull it apart? Do we think we are going to somehow be able to reuse the crumpled card base?! I always shake my head at myself when I do it (I'd like to say it rarely happens, but a certain hamster would rat me out for lying!) after I've wasted a half-hour! In this case, it did turn out more than okay, Pat, and I say "go you!" for persevering! If only the recipient knew what you went through to make this awesome card for him!!

I could just picture everything you were describing that went awry!) I'm with you at hating to toss something (I think it's cause I grew up with folks who lived through the Depression of the 30's, and learned NEVER to throw anything away. Plus I also don't like to 'give up'.) Your perserverance was very successful at having a card you could be proud to send. I always forget about using the brayer to apply the embossing ink...and I recently had the same difficulty you described here. EP stuck where I didn't want it, didn't stick where it should have; luckily I could just brush it off and use a sponge to dab on some color (the silver stencil tree). I'm delighted at your rescue and it was very informative to read about the salvage efforts. Also encouraging to know it happens to others besides myself! Gorgeous masculine card!
