I am working on some of the technique challenges that I wasn't able to do when they came out. For this one, the VW bug was colored using 1 Indigo Prismacolor pencil. I did use black for the tires and the shading under the car. Dina has a wonderful tutorial for this: Pencil Monochrome Tutorials at Splitcoaststampers and I am quite happy with the results on my bug. I usually burnish my pencil coloring but chose to not do so this time.
I used Timeless Texture on the base, added some flags, and sequins and it is done. We have friend who are moving far away for work and this card will go to them.
Thanks for looking!

What a fabulous card this is for your friends who are moving away. Always a sad occasion when friends move so I know they will treasure this wonderful card from you Catherine. You have colored this bug so beautifully with lots of depth of color and shading. The bold bg really highlights your bug and the banners are such a fun touch. ~Karen.
