Groovy Times

Hello!  I got a bit carried away with the current groovy challenge at Retro Rubber....thinking about the 60's and bright colors brought to mind the hippy buses/vans of that time.  And so, I set out to create a card with that as my theme.  First, I found a digital image of a plain bus (shown below) that I colored in bright colors and images.  I searched my stash of stamps to find appropriate ones to create my "Love Bug".  Had fun doing this even though it took a while. All stamps used in the making of this cards are way older than 1 year, some going back to 2001....but none from the 60's. I was not stamping that far back even though I was around in the 60's.  I used Memento Inks and Copics for coloring.  I used all 5 bright colors in the challenge including purple for one heart. Since I did not want to have black windows, I added green shades to the side of the van and added a "sunshade" with flowers to the front. 

Stamps Used: Butterfly and 1 flower from Annabelle Whimsey Flowers 2011, Sentiment and Swirl from Laurel Burch 2017, Word Love, Heart, and Pixie Alphabet letters from PSX 2001/2003, 2 Flowers from Papercraft gift 2019, Peace from GKD Christmas set 2018, Large Flower from Happy Little Stamps 2018.  Used a total of 14 stamps. Finished with Bright Yellow card base and Bright Green background of Bazzill Textured and Shiny CS. Colors are brighter in real life than in photo.
