Hello!! A few things!
* Your mountains look great!! * Practice piping lines for trees before on some parchment paper, and then go for your cookie. * You’re piping wet on wet here. Do a tree, skip a tree, do a tree, skip, etc, and let them crust. Then fill in the gaps for dimension.
Of course, added technique, to match your paper there you could use a clean, flat paintbrush with icing instead.

The mountains are great! I would make the tree icing thicker and cut the tip smaller and try to do more like this:

If you want the watercolor look, I would recommend using a stencil like [this one](https://confectioncouturestencils.com/products/mountain-range-cookie-stencil-edger)and painting it or airbrushing it on. This company also has tree stencils.
Are you wanting it to be watercolor style like the invite or are you wanting the 3D element of the trees?
Could you pipe the tree branches on, then drag the icing down a bit to make it look more feathery??
Edited to add link.
I couldn’t find one specifically for trees, but similar to how they did the waves
