Punch art Guitar

I had such fun with this one!

A friend's hubby loves playing guitar,

but I have no stamps that are anything musical,

so I grabbed the Owl Builder Punch instead!!!!!!!

I punched a 'body', then trimmed to shape using the 'vest' as a guide.

I used two hole punches, 

(one in black for a faux hole in the middle, which probably has a name too), 

cut a slither of a snippet

for the bar that holds the strings,

(anyone know what it's called?!)

cut a slightly tapered strip for the handle (?!),

used two 'feet' for the key thingys

(guess I should have 'googled' guitar parts?!!!),

and added some linen thread,

phew!

If you're wondering if it was fiddly.......

YES IT WAS!!!!

Can you tell yet that I'm not remotely musical ?!

and I can't sing for toffee either!

I had some snippets of paper that I liked,

which made a nice contrast to the Hello Honey yellow,

plus I know he likes to feed the birds,

backed it with black snippets,

and added a greeting, with a couple of candy dots.

If there's anyone new to card making dropping by,

my tip for today is:

make a 'mat' for your greeting, by punching the same shape in a contrasting colour,

cut it into two, and layer behind by spreading apart.

There a so many snippets on this one,

I'm going to see if the Snippets Playground is open!

OMG I've just hopped over and one of my cards is showcased.....

SQUEEEEEEEALS with delight!!!!!!

Have a SUPER Sunday!
