Toni has challenged us to score on our cards today.
Sorry my scoring isn't exactly thrilling. Perhaps I should have looked on Pinterest for scoring ideas, but I've found myself short on masculine birthday cards.
I've seen this sentiment on Pinterest and decided it would be a good opportunity to actually use the mushroom embossing folder that I have. I chose to do a wax paper resist with it. I printed out the mushroom and colored it and I had a plan to score a sunburst around it with a scored frame. But after I scored the frame, I decided I wanted to leave it CAS. So I scored a frame around background panel too. I like how the scored frames look and I wouldn't have done them without this challenge, so I'll take that as a win.

Howdy neighbor! I noticed your wax paper resist bg immediately (another technique I learned eons ago but forget to revisit just like scored frames) This is a great great mqasculine card with your punny sentiment and the beautifully colored 'fun-guy fungi"

Stunning colouring, and I love your wax paper resist background. I think simple scoring makes a great frame, and if a challenge prompts us to do something we wouldn't have thought of otherwise, then it's a win even if it's not anything majorly fancy.

What a super fun- guy card Jen! Your coloring & shading is sensational and your bg technique reminds me of fabric! The scoring is just enough to accent your design!
