Congratulations on your first upload to SCS, and it is GORGEOUS! What an amazing card with this guitar that look so real! I am quite impressed with the pearl inlay...stunning work, and what a wonderful birthday card. I know the Chris will love it! (By the way, my brother-in-law makes acoustic guitars and would really be impressed with your work.)

Thank you Cheryl and Brenda. Will follow your advice and post more as they come along. I love Splitcoaststampers. When the inspiration isn't there I know I can find it here, and then "tweak" it to be my own. Such creative folks out there!

So honored to be in the favorites! Thank you everyone for the so kind comments! This project was so fun, and for someone who is so special to me. I've known Chris for 12 years, and he's part of a Grammy award winning Bluegrass band. To see his dreams, and watch his life path has been pretty amazing. So proud am I!
