I just had to do another card for Queen Kittie. This scene is from the 35th Annual St. Ignace Car Show Parade, held last Friday night. Just happened to catch these three pick-ups as they rolled by... and I figured Kittie would be happy to know her favorite trucks were some of the many vintage and souped-up cars and trucks that took part in the parade despite the rain. Luckily the weather cleared for the Car Show on Saturday.
Drew the road, grass and water, then stamped the trees and filled in the leaves with Copics. I had to mirror image the trucks because I just couldn't stand to have them parade thru town going in the wrong direction. They were colored with Copics, cut out and popped up on my background. The dogs were stamped, but I drew the guy and gal drivers.
Thanks for looking, and Congrats Kittie! You are a very deserving Queen!

Wow, great with the mirrored image trucks - AND MASKING- I never seem to have as much luck with the mirror images, but this is perfection! Bet you that Kittie is thrilled that the truck parade is heading right over to her house now to celebrate her QFTD reign!! Congrats Kitty!

Oh MY!! You have definitely entered the Kittie Zone with this one. I wondered where you found the images of the guy and girl- you drew them. Total genius. The entire scene is fantastic from the fluffy clouds, the lake, the trees. Love the accompanying story as well.

Now let me ask you this: how did you determine they were on the wrong side of the road. Oh, those vintage trucks think they can drive any way they want. The same thing must happen to the elderly ... I love your handdrawn images and the bg scene you've created is marvelous, simply marvelous.
