On Daring Cardmakers this week, their dare is to use tartan. I found this tartan paper, and for some reason immediately thought of the guitar from the Indie Art cartridge - maybe it was a subconcious Rod Stewart connection, although I am not a huge fan of the wee Scot.
So I covered the front of the card with the tartan paper (HOTP), and found a scrap of music paper for the centre. The guitar was cut at 4 1/2", once in black with the blackout feature, twice in black without blackout, and a layer in red. I threaded it with red cotton, I haven't a clue how many strings a guitar has, and was not about to break off and google it - so this is an artistic interpretation!
The guitar really looks quite dimensional, I popped each layer up with silicone glue, and in my usual fashion rushed to photograph it before the excess glue was dry and I could peel it away... never mind, you get the picture
I'll be back tomorrow with a couple of sneek peeks...........

I think it has 6 stings - but don't take my word for it. Love the 3D!! Love the guitar. & what do you mean you don't like the wee scott? Don't you think he's sexy? LOL! (I hate that song!)
Hi Enfys, well Rod Stewart look is definitely in for me, but I was thinking it was more Bay City Rollers myself. Your card is lovely and just right for a young person of the 70's my daughter is a Rod Stewart fan. With love and hugs Shirleyxxxxxxx
oh Enfys, this card just "ROCKS" - really like the color combo and the guitar looks great, like how you added the strings - great idea to pop it out, too! Paper just works great with this card; this card makes music! :)
