Tomorrow is my daughter's 11th birthday and she is getting a ukulele as a present, so I created for her a ukulele birthday card...

Accessories: White Stampin' Emboss Powder (109132), White Baker's Twine (124262), Rhinestone Basic Jewels (119246), Silver Mini Brads (122941). Tools: Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine (133439), Circles Collection Framelits (130911), Full Heart Punch (119883), Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack (118309), Extra Large Oval Punch (119859), Heat Tool (129056), Paper Piercing Tool (126189), Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue (110755), Stampin' Dimensionals (104430).

The idea for this card came from Ruth Hamilton's black and white guitar card, but I used Cajun Caze for the "body" to match the mahogany-wood of the ukulele. The Hardwood stamp makes a lovely tone-on-tone wood grain. I used the Color Coach to determine the other colours I used to embellish. It recommends Bermuda Bay and Crushed Curry that, at first, seemed a rather interesting combination. But I love it!

The two punches used on this card (Full Heart Punch and the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack) are on the Retired List and have now sold out.
