I'm this week's Ways To Use It hostess and I'm celebrating Beautiful Music by using musical notes and instruments on my card. I followed the marvelous SCS Guitar Card variation tutorial. I made a couple of changes, instead of brads, I cut and scored the saddle, poked holes in the bridge and tied the thread under the saddle, added a toothpick to make it look more authentic. I stamped an ornate circle for the rosette, cut out the sound hole and layered it over sponged kraft paper. Scored the neck, used a silver gel pen to mimic the frets. The body is cut from slightly textured light brown cs and sponged to create a grain. I embossed black CS and brayered with gold ink for the bg. Stamped the sentiment, die cut and sponged the panel. Assembled the layers over a cream card base. The hardest part of the card was getting the silver thread to stick to the tape! TFL.
Hope you'll come play along
