Hello, Finally got my trees done....had to add a cute little troll of course...I had to shrink him up quite a bit to fit the scene. The water has Liquid Applique for the white parts and Glossy Accents too to make it shiny. The moss is from my yard (I used to use it on my cards more often a couple years ago when I collected it and tiny sticks). I unraveled most of the burlap. Made my frames from two stitched/pierced rectangle dies and popped it up. Troll is popped up on top of frame so it is double popped.
This is Water element for the MIX challenge.
Thanks for looking!

Oh my gosh, Robin!!! I'm in awe regarding this card. You are amazing to think of including on the card moss from your front yard!! The scene is absolutely outstanding, and I love what you did with the burlap pieces which appear as sticks that are great for the scene. Wow, my friend!!! Can I come visit you for lessons??? LOL

Oh my goodness Robin your scene is darling and your super cute troll is perfect for your scene. Love you great coloring and the fun water element you added. You knocked this card out of the park.

The depth in this is quite amazing, Robin, with the layering and framing. It make me think of The Hobbit, or Lord of the Rings, the trees are so unusual. I love the added detail of the moss and burlap.

My daughter just looked over my shoulder and said 'Oh, cool!' Now that's high praise indeed and I can't really top it! I too thought this was fantastic. The trees, troll, and textures are wonderful!

Gosh, Robin, this is an awesome scene. I was checking out the trees when I noticed the troll and that wonderful moss. The burlap reminds me of sticks. You create the most wonderful cards. Love this one.

Wonderful!!!! Everything everybody said!
First thing I though was "wow-that was a lot of work on those leaves" and then I just started soaking up the rest-the troll is great! I wish he came as a stamp. Very clever about the burlap!

OMgosh - where do I start.... Well, 1st I fav'd it, then went back to take it all in. The moss and burlap strands are the perfect embellishments. The troll is so ugly he's cute and your river through the forest is beautiful. Such a fun card!

this is so wonderful, Ms. Robin. I think your tree is one of a kind magnificent and your troll shrunk down to a fitting size is so perfect. you can do scenes unlike anyone else I swear.

Ha, Robin, I would really love to be sitting by this lovely stream but I think that troll would scare me away!! Beautiful card, MF, wonderful colouring and I love the added texture with the burlap and moss!

Robin,
Wow, what a lovely scene with the beautiful path! That large troll sitting and waiting though would make anyone a bit nervous going down the path! Beautiful coloring and shading on this eye catcher!
