Technostamper's Sketch Challenge #71

First off... Happy Memorial Day to all!

I can't believe it's already Monday again, and time for another Sketch Challenge by MaryJo. OK so I have to admit that I almost didn't play this week. The Sketch just didn't "speak" to me LOL

Here is the sketch that really challenged me:

However, I pushed myself to make a card and did that with my newest DSP, called "Rockabilly". It has gorgeous printed gloss designs!

Here is my version - not as long, since I just did a tall card last week...

And because the paper is so glossy, I really wanted you to see a close-up (and so you can see how my greeting banner is popped up):

The Cherries on the scallop circle were embossed and then cut out by hand (because I didn't like them on square or circles...it just didn't work for ME) 

Soooo, this card is especially made for those of my stamping friends that own the stamp set "Tart and Tangy" and have not paid attention to this Specialty DSP yet - it works so well with the stamp set! And remember until 5/30/09 it's buy 3 packs of DSP, get one FREE! Contact me so you won't miss out...

The white jumbo grommet is from the Occasions Mini Catalog, " target="_blank">' target=_blank>page 19. These jumbo grommets are a fun embellishment! All you need to do is punch a hole into your CS with the 1/2" circle punch, insert grommet (I used the foam mat underneath), turn over and fold back the prongs with your bone folder...

Have a nice afternoon and make sure to check out MaryJo's Blog to see what the other participants came up with!
