This card is an assignment.....I could tell you more but I'd have to kill you....smiles. It is a Birthday scenario for a 15 Year Old Boy. What I was thinking is that sometimes 15 years olds and their moms can disagree on a few things....like music selection, music volume, and nose rings for instance...LOL
The fret board was made with paper and the guitar strings with that shiny silver elastic string stuff....don't know what it's really called. You can "play" the fretboard, if you strum on it the strings bounce back in place (no musical sound of course). Note: The frets were drawn on - but I regreted later that I didn't use my Versa Mark Pen and emboss in silver which was an idea that come about too late.... but I'll do it again one day.
The border is scaned images onto a film strip (aka music video).
The three rings on the bottom represent all the rings in the body - nose ring, tongue ring, belly ring.....etc.
The sentiment is an A Muse Innie & Outie stamp. On the front it says "Who Rocks?" on the inside is says "You Rock!!!" and I added under that in my natural handwriting "....just the way you are!" (mom keeps loving no matter what the challenges are), finally I stamped a tiny "Happy Birthday" under my handwriting line.
I think it says 15 year old in a lot of ways! Enjoy.

I know that my 15yo son would just love this card, so I'm sure that yours will also! I just love the filmstrip idea and the strings! Luckily, I wouldn't have to put the rings on~my son knows that they won't let him play football with them in! Tattoos~that's something that we argue about,lol! Thanks for sharing your wonderful card and I will definitely have in my favorites for a CASE!!

How creative is this - bet he LOVED it, despite your differences of opinion on music and rings etc! I have a just about 18 year old daughter - so we tend to have different issues, but I do have nephews! And I think a music lover of any age would love this! Fun card!!
