Normally circles (and ovals) are 'my thing'..... but, I've just had a creative block all week.... so for my first sketch challenge card, I cased an old idea of mine.
For the 'scene', I stamped on transparency with StazOn... turned the transparency over covered the back side with VersaMark.... sprinkled embossing powder and heated. I decided to try "Silver Pearl" E/P.
I truly wish I could say it looks SO much beter IRL, but... I can't!
BUT, please go look at my other card that I semi-cased this one from... THAT one IS prettier IRL!! Gallery at Splitcoaststampers

When I read, not a fried egg, I thought... huh? Then I looked at the card and Laughed so hard. I see why you said that. After that I just couldn't stop looking at this card. It's so Pretty. I just love it! The sentiment is wonderful. TFS!

Beautiful card! Joan, you have such a gift bringing a card togther with shapes. Not just for this challenge, but so many of your cards show this talent. I don't know if it was on purpose or not but the swirl clip and the swirl on the y even link things together.
Friends are like the walls of a house. Sometimes they hold you up, sometimes you lean on them. But sometimes, it's enough to know they're just standing by.

I didn't think fried egg until you mentioned it...this card has an elegance to it. It's eye catching and the saying, scene are calming. Very beautiful card!!
