This is guitar-totin' Toni, and she's heading to the
Huck and Skinny Music School party on the beach. All the budding young musicians are gathering for a sunset sing-a-long. They're hoping that the soft breezes, sounds of the ocean and the entire repertoire of their friend Anthony's favorite songs help cheer him up. Anthony, who was seriously injured in a terrible accident is the Destination Station this week.
Started out with the Pail and Shovel digi from Happily Scrappin' (thanks Leigh) then drew the palm tree and stamped Easy Rider. Colored all with Copics then clear embossed. Masked off the sun and water and sponged the sky. Masked the ocean and sponged the beach, then masked the sand and sky and sponged the ocean. The guitar was colored with Copics, clear embossed and cut out. Took my craft knife and cut around Toni's arm and sleeve, then tucked her guitar underneath. Finished it off by doodling around the edges.

Awesome card, Hilda. That Toni is such a cutie and the palm tree you drew is OTT awesome. The ocean sunset is stunning with your sponged sky and water. That guitar looks great in bright red ;D - clever idea how you cut along her arm so she could carry rhe guitar with her. Another fantastic card to bring some cheer to Anthony.

Well, I didn't live by the beach but in my younger days I had a guitar just like that one and used to ride my bike to my lessons. I even have the red hair. So this card is close to my heart. I love the bg scene and all the wonderful colors. Great card that brings wonderful memories to me.
