The Loads of Love stamp set....

Has so many options! I am going to have to order the accessory set to go with it for sure! I just love this little pick up! The layout for the card was taken from the Stampin Up catalog and I really like it!

I stamped the pick up and flowers on white and colored the wheels and flowers using Stampin Up markers. I also shaded the window and windshield slightly using a Stampin Up blending pen and a blue marker *okie forgets which one right off hand*. I stamped the pick up on yellow and cut it out and pop dotted it on top of the white.

I can't remember what the patterned paper is off hand as I got it on clearance at a LSS over a year ago. The maroon is the back side of the patterned paper. The solid green is Prism cardstock and I used a Martha Stewart border punch.

I used crochet thread and for the button and tied it around the ribbon before adhering the ribbon to the card.

I used a silver gel pen to color the bumpers, door handle and hubcaps. The stitching and dotting was done with the Chocolate Chip Stampin Up marker. Chestnut Roan Cateye Chalk ink was used for the shading around the edges.
