You Brighten My Day - Love Bug!


Hello and welcome!

I had so much fun playing with the Flora and Fauna "Love Bug" stamp set!  I wanted to make a card reminiscent of the 70's with crazy bright colors and a happy feel.

I took the background daisy die-cut from the Hero Arts Layering Daisy die set, cut in black and used it to mast off the center of a card base.  I used Distress Oxide inks over a Winnie & Walter Big Band Peppermint Zone stencil to make a large colorful swirl.  I was going to put the car in that center, but it got lost in the white sections of the swirl, so I decided to adhere the center of the daisy background as a frame for the car.  I used the tiny flower and heart from that same stamp set to fill in the colored sections of the swirls.  

I added a stitched Memory Box circle die then added the car in the center.  I had colored the card using a water brush and some of the Distress Oxide inks, then added some shading with Zig Clean Color Markers.   I then masked off the yellow hood section so I could add flowers, and added 2 hearts to the headlights.  

The sentiment was heat embossed on the strip of black card stock and it's from Hero Arts "Happy" stamp and cut set.

Here's a closer view:


And here's one final view:


Thanks so much for stopping by!

    This is such a groovy card! I love how you colored the Volkswagen and the background swirls look amazing! The black frames it out so nicely and the whole thing has a fabulous sense of movement. Thank you for sharing your talents with us for this week’s Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge!
