Masking--I used a mask of the card to stamp the trees and made my own cloud template to do the sky (which is the same principle as masking)
I went a little crazy on coloring mediums for this one, the trees are watercolored (stamped with Chalk Ink, the car and road are colored using prismacolor pencils, and the sky is chalk/pastels. Yes, I love to color--funny thing is--I didn't as a kid.
I hand wrote the sentiment across the sky--we always sing this song on the way to my MIL's house since we DO go over a river AND through the woods. Fun times and memories!!
Thanks for the challenge, Julia!!
