The challenge for the CCEE Stampers this week was to be inspired by a song. I did not have a song in mind as I perused some old stamps. When I came across the set with these grapes, I immedicately thought of Marvin Gaye's song "I Heard It Though the Grapevine'. If you are not familiar with this oldie, click on this YouTube link to hear the song.
I used this old retired SU stamp along with a sentiment from (I think) Flourishes. I again pulled out my crackle backgrounder, and did lots of sponging with a wild honey distress ink. In real life the vertical panel, which is embossed, matches better than it appears in this photo. I also stamped a lacy border to the left of the purple vertical panel. I added a ribbon/bow and some paper piercing as well.
Be sure to go to the CCEE Stampers Blog to see the cards inspired by music. You will also find details on how you can p lay along with us.

Perfect stamp for this challenge ... love that song :)
Very clever adding the You Tube video, Sabrina. I had fun with this challenge...will be singing songs in my head all day. Love your card!
Sorry, Joanne....I was thinking about Sabrina's challenge and called you Sabrina! I really do know your name!!!
I love the lacy border down the side on this beauty, Joanne. I remember seeing a video (many years ago) of dancing grapes that went with this song. I tried to find it on-line but no luck. Thanks for the memory!
An oldie to be sure.....have to sing it every time I open raisins!! I love the crackle bg and all the sponging!!
Gosh, Jo, what a great song - I remember crooning along with that one too and dancing! Your card is lovely and elegant!!
Wow, a fabulous card. I love the song. The crackled background was really neat, too.
Phew - thank goodness for a song I actually knew, LOL, though it was fun to Google and hear the others, too. DH has a fair bit of Motown.
Love those warm colours in the background with the lacy black border, and the crackle background over the grapes looks fabulous.
Oh my gosh, this is so beautiful, Joanne. I love the crackle and you sponged such wonderful color.
Yep, I know that song...now I'm singing it. :-)
