Hubby's 40th - Card & Cake

 My hubby turned 40 recently and asked for a guitar for his birthday as he had always wanted to learn one.  We found a lovely blue left-handed one so I knew I had to make a card to match!  I used the beautiful card here for my inspiration.  I used a needle and thread to make the strings, and the black patch next to the "hole" is the wing from the XL Bird Punch.

Stamps: Itty Bitty Banners, Patterned Party, Woodgrain
Cardstock: Basic Black, Soft Suede, Very Vanilla, Pacific Point, Gold Glimmer Paper
Ink: Basic Black, Soft Suede
Accessories: Big Shot, Ovals Collection Framelits, Bitty Banners Framelits, 1" Circle Punch, Slit Punch, XL Bird Punch, Sponge Dauber, Gold Brads, Needle & Thread

Just wanted to share too, here's the cake I made for him to match his guitar as well.

 

I got my inspiration from here for this project.  Of course the cake was a hit too!
