Yes, I have one more winter card. Maybe this will be it...who knows? LOL You don't have to make a winter card. You can make spring by adding flowers, leaves, etc., or just do the trees. You need tape and a credit card or even thick cardstock will do.
I loved this tutorial and made several cards using it. The video is really short.
I thought of an added bonus while making mine because I wanted something behind the trees. I made this card in 2016 using an embossing folder to do the same technique. TLC603, What's Hiding Behind the Birch Trees? by Benzi at Splitcoaststampers I think the one I made for this challenge was easier but I like both techniques.
I placed my tape on my card as the tutorial shows and then stamped the carriage. Very simple. Then, I watercolored the sky and snow. Let dry and remove tape. Use the inked credit card on the trees. Made some falling snow and left room at bottom for snow. I used a graphite pencil to show a man inside the carriage.

I think this is a MUCH easier technique than stamping on an EF which can leave a less than desirable imprint. Stamping over washi tape (especially with a misti) means you can make sure your bg image is as focused as your easy to paint (and more realistic looking) birch trees.
This was a super challenge, Brenda!

Wow, Brenda, this scene is just so lovely! Great job creating the birch trees with that beautiful sky and snow softly falling. It's just so peaceful looking! Love it!

I loved watching your video, Brenda. You did an awesome job showing how it works with your beautiful card. I love how the buggy was the perfect size to fit in. We live in an old order Mennonite Community so this is a familiar scene around here.
