Nacho Average Challenges #55

WOW!! This was a HARD sketch for me!  I tried and tried making a "traditional" card, but couldn't come up with anything I liked!  So, I went to My Digital Studio, and gave that a try!  Not sure I like it any better, but I have to post something!! LOL!!  Be sure you check out the Design Team's creations on the NACHO BLOG -- they didn't seem to have any trouble!!

Here's the sketch:
