Anyhow, here it is:
- 6" x 6" square white card blank
- piece of SU's 'Chocolate Chip' card stock, trimmed slightly smaller than the card front and glued in place
- an embossed panel of white card, kindly sent to me by a lovely buddy after I'd admired it on her blog - the folder is by Crafts-Too. I trimmed it down and glued it in place. My card's layout is not dissimilar to my lovely buddy's either
- added a piece of patterned paper from a LOTV paper pad called 'On A High Note' to the other side of the card front - I love the almost hidden words which say 'You're the song in my heart' :)
- stamped the sentiment using Brilliance 'Pearlescent Chocolate' ink and a pre-loved 'no name' wood mounted stamp, trimmed it and glued in place
- the guitar image was also sent to me by the same buddy - it's stamped using a Leane Creatif 'Doodle Guitar' stamp
- I coloured the image using Pro markers to tone with the patterned paper (as best I could!), fussy cut right round it and ran a black Whispers marker right round the edges
- then gave most of the guitar a coating of Glossy Accents and left it for ages to dry
- once dry I stuck the guitar onto the card front using red line tape
- then just added the little gold tuning pegs using some flat gold gems and then finished off with LEN spelled out in tiny little gold peel offs
Len was in a group many moons ago and he personalised his guitar at the time very much the same with LEN, so I think that touch will make him smile :)
Oh this is fabbo! Happy Birthday to Len!

It's a super card for Len and the music embossing goes with the guitar perfectly Di. My o/h was also in a band, drummer, but also played the guitar and still does at times.

ReplyDeleteBrilliant card, love the colours of the guitar and the way you have personalised it. I also like the sentiment, great font and a very handy one to have for certain cards, can't recall ever seeing one that went downwards (can't think of the proper word I should have used here but hope you know what I mean!)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Len and hope you both have a lovely day.

ReplyDeletebelated birthday wishes for Len! A wonderful card and a beautiful personalised guitar! I bought a guitar stamp a few years back only to discover it was a left handed guitar when I got it home. Guitarists are the first to notice when it is the wrong way round too!
