Pick out one of the Pool Party cards from the Tutti-frutti Cards & Envelopes. Fold in half.
Mount the guitar image from the Epic Celebrations Set on Block H. Ink it up with the Memento Pad and stamp on the white rectangle. Set aside to let it dry a few minutes. Clean the stamp with Stampin' Mist and the Stampin' Scrub and put it away for now.
Unlock the Banner Triple Punch. Insert the strip of Whisper White into the punch as far as it will go. Punch.

Mount the bunch of dots image from the Epic Celebrations Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Pool Party Ink Pad. Stamp once on Grid Paper. Without re-inking, stamp it on the punched strip of white cardstock. Continue stamping all over the white strip remembering to re-ink and stamp off on Grid Paper each time.
Mount the "You're Awesome" sentiment from the Epic Celebrations Set on Block H. Ink it up with the Rich Razzleberry Ink Pad and stamp in the center of the white strip so that the punched notch is on the right.
Adhere the stamped white strip to the Bermuda Bay punched strip.
Make sure you have some paper (Grid Paper works great) at your work space.to protect the work surface. The Stampin' Blends Markers will bleed through the cardstock that you are coloring so you need to protect your work surface.
Place the stamped guitar image on the work paper and start coloring with the Stampin' Blends Markers. The markers have a brush tip for coloring in larger areas and a fine tip for coloring in smaller areas. Use the light colors first and add highlights with the darker colors. If needed to blend the colors, go over things again with the lighter colors.
Use Light Rich Razzleberry Marker in the center of the guitar and on the base of the top of the neck. Use Light and Dark Pool Party on the neck and right side of the guitar body and to blend everything together. Use Light and Dark Bermuda Bay on the left side of the guitar body, the top of the neck, and the frets.
Cut out the guitar by hand using Paper Snips.
Put Stampin' Dimensionals on the back of the body.
Remove the protective backings from the Dimensionals and adhere the guitar at a slight angle to the left side of the matted sentiment banner. Trim off excess cardstock on the left side of the banner if needed using Paper Snips.
Cut two 1-3/4" pieces of Silver 3/8" Metallic-Edge Ribbon so that each piece as an angled end.
Lay the two pieces of ribbon on the back of the matted sentiment so that the angled ends of the ribbon meet to make a "v" and stick out about 1/2" from the notch in the matted banner. Use a piece of Tear & Tape Adhesive to hold the ribbons in place.
Add some SNAIL to the other end of the matted banner on the back.
Wrap some Silver Metallic Thread around your fingers a few times. Cut the thread loose from the spool. Adhere the loops of thread to the adhesive on the back of the matted banner so they stick out to the side and top.
Add more adhesive to the back of the matted banner as needed. Cut a thin piece from the edge of the Dimensionals and put it behind the top of the guitar.
Remove the protective backings from the Dimensional piece and any Tear & Tape Adhesive and adhere the guitar and matted banner to the lower left side of the front of the Tutti-frutti Card.
Carefully remove 3 Pool Party sequins from a sheet of Tutti-frutti Adhesive-Backed Sequins making sure you get the adhesive as well as the sequin. Adhere them randomly to the card front.
