It's Time

Time to get your Mojo out.  One of the bright spots of my Monday mornings is checking out the Mojo Monday challenge blog.  This week the sketch has a couple pennants on it and I just am not in the mood for pennants so I switched them out.  I switched the ribbon too.  Defiant, huh!  Bold as brass, n'est pas.  Those were the kinds of things I was told when I was a victim of catholic school and tried to switch things around a little.  It's amazing anyone who survived the schools I attended has a single creative thought in their heads.  I'm sure those penguins would have flipped if they ever saw my coloring books, where I used blue and green or orange for skin and purple for hair. They probably would have taken away my crayons and possibly broken my fingers.  They were some mean women and back in my day, corporal punishment was  encouraged not forbidden.  Ah, the good ole days.  But I digress...
To make the layered flower on this card first the stamp was inked with yellow and then the edges were rolled in orange.  It's very subtle and barely visible in the photo.  The idea was to make it look a little like a tea rose. 
don't forget the inside
Also difficult to see is the sentiment stamped in green on the lower right side, it says "just because".

Here's the deets:
stamp - Verve "Great Friends"
ink - Close to My Heart "Olive"; Stampin' Up "Barely Banana" and "Pumpkin Pie"
paper - Stampin' Up "More Mustard" cs and "Haiku" dsp
miscellaneous - Stampin' Up ribbon; mini brads; bling; sewing machine
