I chose a circle instead of an oval and created a separate ring of white to go on top of the bordering blue panel to add some texture and a fun element to the panel. Some scoring on the white background panel, and a black button and two other black details to get my rule of three in :)A good masculine card to add to my stash. I managed to get out of the gutter cleaning this weekend because we got rain and there was no way hubby was going to let me go up an extension ladder when it was slick. Needless to say, I wholeheartedly agreed LOL!
Was totally proud of my daughter for winning a gold medal in the piano scale competition last month and was totally overjoyed to hear her say "that was easy" she she came out of her Grade 2 piano exam! Hopefully her score will match her comment!
Crazy busy this week as school winds down, but I'm going to squeeze in as much stamping time as I can between driving kids to activities, helping out and buying teacher's gifts LOL!
Thanks for sharing a bit of your day with me and hope yours is a good one :)

Love how you've tucked the leaves into the circle frame, Marisa! And your scored diamonds made me laugh a little--I did the same on my ColourQ card for today! Great minds, right? Super job with these masculine colors!
What beautiful rich colors this challenge gave you. I love all the layers on your card.. Great scoring too. That brings your eye right to the focal point. Congrats to your daughter. I think it is fabulous when kids have a passion for an instrument. :) Good luck with the end of school.
YAY! Congrats to your daughter!
This card is incredible...love those colors and you've done it up beautifully with the sketch, too! Gorgeous job!
Fabulous! Love the look of the combination of scoring and distressing on the backround panel. The white background really highlights those branches and accents wonderfully!! Awesome job with this sketch...hope you're squeezing all the craft time you can out of the next week!

What a beauty, Marisa! Those colors looked like they would be hard to work with, but you really pulled them together so nicely. Just one more day left to go and then SCHOOL'S OUT!! Hang in there during your crazy last week. :)

PS. Thanks for your lovely thoughts re my hospital visits. Having some 'lady problems' that hopefully will be sorted out. xx
This is just fabulous, Marisa! Love the contrast of the white, and the way those leaves are just peeking out of the circle frame. Gorgeous card! Thanks for playing Mojo Monday!
Beautiful card! Olena
