This morning before I made my altered office clip, I killed two file folders. For this card, I resuscitated one of the folders and made it into a guitar. I cased this card which was a case of several cards as I followed the trail of guitars: Brooks birthday by judylynn at Splitcoaststampers
I swiped my brown ink pad over the folder. I sponged some yellow and orange ink. I added the 6 brads and wire for the strings of the guitar. I think I would have had an easier time changing the strings on my guitar than I had with this wire. Note to self- next time get thin gold cording. Oh well, I kinda like how it looks.

Uber-creative! Wow - this is really good (as usual). I like how you used the paper clips even if they were difficult and I like that you recycled (maybe you can get some energy or green credits for that).

This is so cool!! I think I need to make one of these for DS. He hasn't picked up his guitar in ages (that I know of). Maybe even make it really big (full size file folder) as a place to keep some of his music. I really like the color you achieved by blending the colors of inks. Bet it has a great wood like appearance IRL!!! Great job on this!!!
