I needed to make a 21st birthday card for my nephew and boy did I sweat over this card! He's not into drinking, cars or loose women!!! So with that in mind I started to panic! I trawled the Delicious Doodles Store for a suitable image and eventually stumbled upon Electric Guitar :D
Now this card is a little different for me as it has almost completely been created using my graphics programme which seriously made for a quick and easy make! No die cutting, no colouring and if I hadn't decided to decoupage the guitar there would have been no cutting or gluing either!!! I simply created the card on screen, printed it out (with an extra guitar), cut it to size, inked the edges with Distress Inks, mounted it on a card blank, decoupaged the guitar and then added some bling (although I've since found out that I could even have done that in the graphics programme).
All I have to do now is hope that my nephew likes the card!
Thanks for stopping by

This is a great card for an awkward male - and don't we all know one of them. It certainly doesn't look quick and easy, I love it.
