Water Colored Winter Scene

My card today was inspired by the wintry photo on the Sparkle and Shine Challenge blog.

I stamped the images on water color card stock and than covered them with masking fluid.  When the masking fluid was dry I used two shades of distress ink and some water mixed with Pearl Ex to paint the sky.  Once the water coloring was dry I removed the masking fluid from images so I could watercolor them.  When it was all dry I added some Pico Embellisher to create some accumulated snow on the birdhouse and branch.  In my shaker I included sequins, glitter and flower soft.

We are having a beautiful winter day here.  Spent the morning with my family at the zoo enjoying the sunshine and cooler temperatures.
