Well, do I need to explain this???!!!!! LOL!!!!!
Emily, a/k/a scoopy, is our Featured Stamper. Congratulations Emily. I loved looking through your CAS gallery. You have many gorgeous cards, but of course, I chose your very FIRST upload, Going Places, seen here:
I kept the vehicle theme & the basic colors. As soon as I saw your card, I knew what stamp I was using! No, I don't have a red bug anymore (boohoo) & I actually grieved for that car for years, but it always had a flower in the vase & I could not resist using that flower ribbon. I changed the stamp, the orientation, the ribbon, no senti & rounded the corners for that aerodynamic feel!! I loaded the stamp w/ Versamark, then Real Red & clear embossed. I punched the wheels using the 3/4" & 1/2" circle punches. The flower is the MS hydrangea punch.
I hope you enjoy your time in the spotlight and that you like my version of your card.

I see we both posted red bugs today Karen! And I don't have my red bug anymore either. For a long time after I sold mine, I wished I hadn't... But I still have fond memories of my first car. What a cute card - of course I love it! And you managed to get some punching in on it too! RYPH

Karen, that was going to be my first question...asking if this was your car.
This is just the cutest...I need a little VW convertible to sport around in. LOL Love your little punched flower and the ribbon is perfect. Had to have those flowers with the doodle bug. Love your fun card.
