Hi there! I hope you are enjoying the holiday season and are making new memories while remembering traditions. This card that I am sharing has a pretty funny memory or the story of a memory for me. I remember always having a green VW bug ornament hanging on the tree with my birth year written on it. My mom had a green bug that she loved dearly and drove it every year. One year she decided to take a trip up North to visit my grandparents, leaving my dad behind to work. As she was traveling through the mountains in the middle of a winter night the engine (in the rear back then), caught fire. In the meantime as this beloved bug was smoking, I was in a car seat in the back! We are all okay, and poor ole dad had to come rescue us, but that story has been told every Christmas since. When I got this stamp, I knew right away she would be colored green. I hope you could envision this story and cracked a smile.
As for the card, I water colored the image with Arteza real brush markers. Without further ado…
