A True Classic Never Ages

Kia Ora Koutou

Welcome back and today I am sharing a card that was for a custom order and the brief was to have a VW beetle car.  Fortunately, I still had my Simply Classic Stamp and Die set and I got my Zig Clean Colour Brush markers out and had so much fun painting the car as well as the fence and tulips from the Tulip Time collection and the foxgloves from the Happy Camper collection.  I was really happy at how this card turned out and my client was thrilled with it.  The Courtyard Elegance die is just stunning and it is one of my go to dies for making scenic cards.
