This is for FS857 and MariLynn is our featured artist this week. Congratulations, MariLynn. You have such a beautiful gallery. I was very surprised to see that you had not been featured in the past. I finally settled on MIX538 Leonid Afromov inspired by MariLynn at Splitcoaststampers.
I was inspired by your sketched and watercolored tree scene. I wish I could say that I watercolored the scenic scene in the background of my card but it is actually a page from a scenic themed 6x6 paper pad. I watercolored the die cut grass, birch trees and leaves to match the background scene and popped them all up with mounting tape.

Kittie, I always love your floral cards; but these trees -- you've won my heart for sure. I love the die cuts, your coloring, the beautiful scene you've created; but that quote is definitely the defining element for me. And it works so beautifully with your creation. Awesome card. Fav'd.

Kittie, your beautiful card has such depth with the trees. If you hadn't said, I would have thought your watercolored the bg ones....with your many talents I'm sure watercoloring is one of them! : ) A lovely way to honor MariLynn.

How lovely! Makes me want to take a walk in the woods. Your watercolor leaves are spectacular and you've created such depth to your scene.
