I have actually watched someone color bottle-brush trees like these - no such luck for me...
However, I did find a stamp in my stash that worked the charm! Reverse Confetti - Triangle Trees to the rescue! You might also see that I was Inspired By the rustic wood cabinet, the dark shadows, and little gold 'trunks' of #IB151.
I loved them plain, but they really wanted to be decorated ... I found the perfect star-shaped ornaments from a retired set from MFT, and cut them from a the same cardstock I'd painted gold for my trunks, and tree-stands.
Aren't they the perfect sized stars? that wee little sentiment is from the tree set!
Thanks for dropping by ... I don't know about you, but I can hardly wait another second to see how my IB teamies were inspired!! Let's go!
