Congratulations to Redbugdriver, aka Karen, our newly crowned Queen! I'm so happy it's Karen's turn on the throne... she is one of the sweetest stampers around, and she is always there with thoughtful, considerate comments.
I have quite a few of Karen's cards in my favorites, but this FUN card is at the top of my list! I have the little pickup stamp, but just couldn't resist trading it in for a shiny red split-window VW. I found this bug on-line, colored it with Copics, then clear EP'd it. I added Glossy Accents to the headlights and hubcaps, then cut the image out. Stuck a branch of olive leaves in the driver's window, and mounted it on an embossed panel that I sponged with Basic Gray. Put this on some Basic Gray cardstock and tied it with a skinny red ribbon.
Enjoy your reign Queen Karen!

HHRH, now this is what I'm talking about!!!!!!!! This ROCKS! I love how you colored it, but you made me miss my bug - even though it was a 'new beetle' and not this classic design. This card goes to the top of my favorites! I love all your details. I remember when I made that IC card too.
Thank you so much for playing from my gallery today. You are the sweetest for this one! Thank you for all of your kind comments. I'm truely blessed today.

Well, if this isn't the cutest thing ever, Hilda! I love that red VW and it is absolutely perfect for Karen. I think I remember her avatar photo used to be a red VW. Love your greenery, too.

Heh Heh, I wondered when someone would make a card with a red "bug" on it, and here it is! Very clever, and I love how you stuck the branch in the window! Love this!!
