Some "sort of" Stampin' Up! cards :)

It's not a Stampin' Up! card but I thought I would share it anyway because it is crafty :)  and a card :)
and I worked hard on it and so I thought why not?
I drew this guitar last year for a friend's birthday but never painted it because I was just too nervous to do it.  I had an idea of what I wanted and didn't want to mess up, then it got too late and I set it aside.  This year I decided to do it because really it's just paper and if I mess it up I lost what? $0.80?  silly to worry about that. 



I saw a watercolor painting like this on Pinterest and thought it was really fun, but I am not a guitar person and may have messed up some technical things, like where the frets actually are or how they are spaced, but it is a stylized guitar so it's OK right?

I paint with my aqua painter and ink, so I guess in a way it is a Stampin' Up! project! 

Look at my desk!!! This is what happens when it gets close to Christmas!  When ever I do a huge room clean up I tell myself that I am going to clean completely after each project, but I never do.  When will I learn to clean as I go?

Once I was done I scanned the painting and then printed it out onto thick white cardstock, another Stampin' Up! product see!
Then I cut them cardstock in half and scored and folded, and put the cards into a cello bag with envelopes and a bow.  I also framed the original and will wrap them up together for my guitar loving friend. 

I hope that she likes them!
