So how many of you truly remember the "Love Generation" of the 1960s and 70s? This image takes me back to my late teen/early adult years when things were "groovy" and VWs were all the rage. I actually had a blue VW Bug so even coloring this image brought back some wonderful memories. :-D
The image is for the Progressive challenge at LeAnne's World 101 and you all know how I love my progressive challenges. :-D
I colored with ProMarkers, gel inks, silver paint pens, and sparkle gel pens for a bit of shine on the windows. I fussy cut the Bug and added it to a die cut square (Lawn Fawn) with dimensional dots and made sure that it was out-of-the-box. I used additional Lawn Fawn dies to cut the square frame and that put everything back inside-the-box. :-D
Since this Bug represents the 'groovy' times, I added some sparkly, 'hippy' flowers, added little gem centers, then printed and hand cut the sentiment. The card base is made with confetti CS.

My mom had a red VW when she met my step dad in 1971 (I was 4) - the story goes that she sold it because he could not drive it correctly (keep it revved up) and it was easier to get rid of the car than him :) She always wanted a VW Convertible and I think I've inherited her dream, but hubby doesn't think I need two cars. Thanks for sharing your walk down memory lane with us at Double Trouble.
This card sure does take us down memory lane. I had a white bug in my younger years and called him Herbie!

I love this card, the VW sure brings back memories of the 70's for me as I was a teenager.

AH! those were the times! great memories Connie, LOVE this "Herbie" great colours and the flowers are a super addition. My mother would never let me be one of the "flower people" so I'm still a frustrated hippie LOL.

Now that is such a cute and fun image!! Love the pretty glitzy flowers you've used and the fun sentiment goes perfectly with it too!! HUGS :)
Love this card! I think beetle bug cars are just adorable! Your card is cute as can be! I always wanted one of them!!
Nana, missed you, welcome back. Yep, who doesn't have memories of a the Bug...fun to drive. Great "love in the air" interpretation "a love bug". Our first bug was a red one that we wanted to paint yellow because it happened to be a lemon. But that didn't stop us from going out and buying another red bug and it stayed red for many years. Twisted Sister thanks you for adding a little sparkle and thanks for sharing with us at Double Trouble and The Paper Girls.
Slug a bug blue! Ever play that game?? I learned to drive a stick shift in an orange VW Bug named "Fred". Great car and great memories! Adorable and fun card. Thanks for sharing it with us at PIP Challenges!
