In a Cosmo Mood

Happy Friday! I’m still rolling with laughter reading the BAD stories for the Blog Candy, please keep them coming. You have until midnight tonight and the winner will be announced tomorrow morning. I also noticed this morning that something has happened to all my email subscribers so I am assuming that there is a slight glitch somewhere. If you are a subscriber and are not receiving email updates, please let me know.

Today’s card is for the Limited Supply Challenge on Splitcoast. The object today was to use flower stamps, sentiments, up to two backgrounds, Soft Subtles, Rich Reals or neutrals and up to two colors or kinds of ribbon. After I finished the card, I think I may have strayed from the challenge because I used brads. I didn’t notice this until after I had set the first three and there was just no way I was going to go back and change it (hehe)!

I used my favorite Penny Black floral stamp, colored the image with markers, misted with water and stamped the image out three times. The edges were sponged with Mellow Moss and then layered. The Well-Worn Words background is stamped with Almost Amethyst on Whisper White cardstock, the edges were distressed with the blade of my scissors and then sponged with Mellow Moss. There is a small layer of Mellow Moss behind it and that is then layered on the white. For some reason today I’m liking the stark white with these colors. The sentiment was colored with marker and then stamped and layered. It is up on a piece of mounting tape for an added dimension.
