Craft a scene Technique Challenge

The February theme for Craft a Scene is to use your favorite technique.  Well, I like so many techniques that I decided to try one that was new to me.  

My fellow DT Pia likes to stamp on photographs and she does a beautiful job.  I picked out a selection of photo prints while at the Savanna scenic stamping retreat a couple years ago, but I never had a chance to use them.  So today is the day!

My photograph is sky, a bit of mountain range and water.  The nice thing about this photo is that it is very neutral and can be used for almost anything that is winterish.  I am ignoring the fact that the photo is of water and choosing to pretend that it is snowy instead.

First I stamped the farm scene (came with the barn and a few cows), then I added the fence and horses.  The scene still seemed a little bare so I added the trees, birds and branches. I only added a little bit of color to the barn, cows and grass.  It is winter after all!
