Teenage cards can be a challenge to make, especially for a boy…
my baby boy, who turns 15 today!!! loves playing the guitar so I made this one for him.
He has an electric guitar that he rocks out to every day,
and is saving up madly for a bass guitar.
I think the trick with teenagers is to keep the card simple…don’t over do it.
I have splattered acrylic paint onto the stamped background and added glossy accents to the body of the guitar so it shines like his guitar does.
I have used shadow stamping in the background, and kept everything else pretty basic.
Not too much bling…boys just don’t like it.
He loved it!!!
Enjoy!
I am entering this card in the following challenges ~
Gorgeous card Dot, no wonder your son loved it. The background is really effective and the gloss really makes the guitar pop
Happy birthday to your boy 🙂

Hi Dot, not surprised he loved it, it is fabulous, love the way you have the guitar, it looks real. Lovely card.
Happy Birthday to the young man!! Dot, I thought the guitar was shrink plastic or a purchased embellishment! Love the shadow stamping which gives the card so much depth. Absolutely, guys don't care for a bunch of "add ons," but you added a ton of interest! Happy Sunday!
