Default WCW176 October 11, 2023 5 Minute Birch Trees

Hello Crafters, if you remember I posted a challenge in March, 2022 painting birch trees using tape and a credit card. I loved it so much so I am doing birch trees again but only using a credit card, brush, and paint...no tape involved. It is a video by Ellen Crimi-Trent called Easy Birch Trees Using This One Technique or 5 minute Birch Trees. I am creating a fall card but you may want a Christmas card or some other type.


WCW176 GALLERY

Use Keyword: WCW176

Here's my card: https://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/3138515

Uploading: Remember the keyword is without spaces. Use a comma between keywords with an area after each comma.

If you are new to the challenges, please feel free to do this one or ANY of the challenges at any time. There is no time limit. They are not races to see who can do one first, nor are they contests. All the challenges are to provide inspiration and to get us stamping!

I made two versions- one horizontal and one vertical. This was so fun I will likely try more in the future.

God bless you for this my friend!! It actually WAS easy and the PERFECT springboard from which a card I agonize over designing every year came together relatively painlessly!!!

My card:
WCW176 Happy Birthday Roger 2923 by DancesWithHooves at Splitcoaststampers

THANK YOU!!!!

Wow, you could have knocked me over with a feather, my first time "painting" with a credit card, what a great technique to showcase!

Here's my card: Birch Christmas
