I'm this week's Ways To Use It hostess and I'm celebrating Beautiful Music by using musical notes and instruments on my card. I followed the marvelous SCS Guitar Card variation tutorial. I made a couple of changes, instead of brads, I cut and scored the saddle, poked holes in the bridge and tied the thread under the saddle, added a toothpick to make it look more authentic. I stamped an ornate circle for the rosette, cut out the sound hole and layered it over sponged kraft paper. Scored the neck, used a silver gel pen to mimic the frets. The body is cut from slightly textured light brown cs and sponged to create a grain. I embossed black CS and brayered with gold ink for the bg. Stamped the sentiment, die cut and sponged the panel. Assembled the layers over a cream card base. The hardest part of the card was getting the silver thread to stick to the tape! TFL.
Hope you'll come play along

Thanks for the music lesson. I had absoutely no idea what the parts of the guitar were, but now I do. My musical talents consist of turning the radio on. I adore the card. The guitar is quit the work of art, talking about authentic, you've hit the mark here. Picking and Grinning!
Your guitar looks so real! My husband plays and we own many, so this kind of card always draws my eye.
