My item is a standard size card using kraft paper.  I love the Jubilee paper pack and thought it would be perfect for this Stamp of the Month.  I first embossed the starbursts with clear embossing powder and then sponged the ink to make the starbursts pop.  Then I stamped the words between the starbursts.  Below is my card. 

 

 

Here are the details a little closer.  Both the Celebrate and the rocket are pop-dotted for dimension.

My item is a standard size card.  I used our embossing folders and decided I liked the unraised side better for this card.  I actually used the Whisper Alcohol marker on the face (but I really didn't want to make her look like one of the undead or anything--just add a hint of color so she didn't look so white).  Anyway, it really didn't add as much color as I thought it would.  ;-)
