I made the base just using a plastic bowl container....I folded the CS...and placed the bowl over it #leaving one rounded edge hanging over the folded edge a tad# and drew around it with a pencil. Then I just cut it out. The finished card is approx. 5.25 inches....and will fit perfectly into my 5.5" square envelopes.
I colored the image with copics for base, prismacolor pencils and h20's to deepen the shade and add a little sparkle. *#Please remember.....do not use copics over prismacolor pencils or the wax from the pencils will ruin your copic tips!#*
I used a label maker for the words. I drew the stars freehand. The image layer and the stars are popped up on foam squares. I've added glitter to the guitar.

Such a cute little guitar playing guy and so nicely colored! Love the added music notes as well. Thanks for the tip on the copic/prismacolors - I didn't know that.
