Our lovely Bus Driver has been chosen as our Featured Stamper today, and no surprise here!! She is a woman who can do it all!!!
Took all day, but I went all the way back into her gallery - we are talking YEARS' worth of cards and she has a veritable treasure trove filled with so many different kinds of cards and in practically every style imaginable!! I loved what she did with THIS CLASSIC PICKUP TRUCK so I put a bit of a spin on it (since I only had Classic Convertibles) and especially since I could envision this fun-lovin' gal cruisin' in this 'Vette, with her hair blowing in the wind (and quite possibly, some dogs chasing after her, trying to score a new home with her family of fur babies)
This card in addition to honoring my sweet Sister, also is for the IC321 - Everything Turquoise - although there were no turquoise cars there - it was a popular color back in the day of this muscle car!
I used a different EF , and different colors from Shirley's great card , plus added crystal effects on the windows and lights and chrome - hope she likes her new wheels!!
LYMI, Sis!!

Oh now...I can see Shirt's curly blonde tresses flying in the wind! Maybe Tiggy will try to race her, eh? Lol! What a fun and cute card, great way to honor this Twisted Sister. Beautiful!

This is one "HOT" card! Your Corvette stamp has such great texture and is colored so nicely. The diamond plate "chrome" bkgrd is perfect, as well. FAB card!

Sue, this is a gorgeous card. I love the turquoise vett, oh how I wish I had one of those. Heck, with a car like that no telling what I would pick up, maybe not dogs. I would have a blast with that this summer. I also like the chrome plate bg and how you finished it off with the screw like brads. Thanks so much, for playing today.

Sue, I can see why you had to let this one dry with the glossy effects on the critical part so of the car. I can see Shirley driving this one too - and I could very easily picture those dogs running behind her as well. What a fun guy card! Very cool treatment on the sentiment as well - I will be casing that one. I will try to call you tonight if we aren't out too late - Kenny wants me to go with him to the hunting camp this afternoon. Pray for me!!!!

Hey Sue this is a really great case of our sister Shirley's card. That's one flash motor, I sure can imagine Shirt driving it with Pat sitting upfront with her and you and I in the back. I'm thinking we could make a little room for a couple of those cool mechanics too whadda think hahaha! I love all the turquoise on your card and the paint job on the car it's pretty shiny we will definitely need our sunglasses, because the glare off the bonnet
