Tie Dye Birthday

I was showing my husband and oldest daughter the Enjoy the Ride stamp set last night and they started talking peace signs and tie dye.  Elizabeth mentioned tie dye and I told her she was a genius!  It took me a few tries but I finally got one right !  I simply drew the tie dye pattern with copics on the car and then added a little colorless blender solution with a cotton ball for that tie dye look--kinda of swirly and faded.

I stamped the rays from the set You're Dandy from Practicing Creativity in Enchanted Evening, Lemon Tart and Raspberry Fizz.  The circle behind the car is raspberry fizz but it looks like red in the photo.

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a wonderful day!

    You even cut out the windshield...makes it look so real. I love the bug. When I was growing up..that was the car of my dreams. Needless to say I didn't get one but I did own a classy blue Vega!!! ahhh sweet memories.

    My comment is actually in the posting from Carrie. Apparently my daughter started a blog and had logged in on my computer and I didn't realize it when I started commenting. So basically the Carrie is me...sorry for the confusion.
