Feelin' Groovy

The sun finally broke through the clouds and we had a beautiful Spring day here yesterday so I wanted to keep the spring feeling alive when I went to my stamp room last night to make this card. I knew I wanted to use my Daisy VW image from Stamping Bella and the Sweet Sunday Sketch 21 from two weeks ago was the perfect layout. 

I stamped the van with Memento Tuxedo Black and coloured it with copics. I knew I'd be using my American Crafts Spring & Summer paper (this one is Scones) so I pulled my colours from the paper. I added some grass with a black Multiliner and wrote in 'groovy' on the license plate. I really wasn't sure what to do with the windshield so I just left it white. If you have a good suggestion for clear windows and glass I'd love to hear it! I did add a little yellow to the headlights then blended it out with the colourless blender. Of course every groovy van needs a little bling so I added some Glamour Dust to the corners and mirrors. The image is cut out with square nestabilities and layered onto one of the solid colours from American Crafts. 

The card base is white then I layered baja blue. I stamped the sentiment first (the rest of it is on the inside and it reads, I admire... your drive) then sewed around the edge, then ran it through my Swiss Dots cuttlebug folder. I used the small retro flower punch and an Olive Bonbon to accent the sentiment. I just love how this card turned out. Wouldn't it be so much fun to drive around in this fabulous van! :)
