I goofed this morning and made a card for WCW013 as it was at the top of the challenges and I was rushed and didn't see the date! duh...... and I had made a card with that technique when it WAS the correct week and it still didn't ring any warning bells!!!
SO - here is my card for TODAY's proper water color challenge - which is watercoloring die cuts. I watched the video attached and went in search of a die to use.
I couldn't find anything like the video showed to use - so I ended up simply die cutting these birch (or aspen) trees and watercoloring the bark onto them.
I used the Dappled Watercolor background technique from the WCW013 challenge for the background of my birches.
I love this sentiment from Technique Junkies - it actually has a row of trees on the stamp but I just inked the sentiment part for my card today.
I did splatter Clear Wink of Stella over the panel but it never shows up in photos!
Thanks for another interesting water color challenge ladies!!

This really is a great die to watercolor, and you did a fantastic job. The dappled technique looks great for your trees. Glad you joined us, and sorry about the challenge not being on top. TFS

Oh, I love this and that wonderful sentiment with your birch trees. And, your dappled background looks great, too. Super coloring with the die cuts. Both your cards today were great.

BEAUTIFUL WORK, Julia!!!! AND your sentiment goes SO WELL with your trees! (Don't worry, I've done things similar! ;)It just gives us DOUBLE the treat!) ;)<3
Oh, no! I am sorry you made another card for a previous challenge. I have done that before. This is so beautiful! Your watercolor on the birch trees is spot on! I totally agree with that sentiment! Beautiful card!
