Baby, It's Cold Outside!

Today's card combines 2 challenges....the new sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches and the Ways To Use It challenge over at Splitcoast, which has the theme "Baby Its Cold Outside". I had to laugh at that because that's the EXACT name of the post I made on my Alaska blog the other day, when I woke to a temperature of -16. 300 miles north of me Fairbanks has been seeing temps of -45..yes 45 BELOW zero. Bet that makes your temps seem pretty warm by comparison :)

I used by Fireside Christmas stamp for this because when its that cold out our wood stove gets a good workout. So even though the stamp is a fireplace it portrays the same idea!

Supplies used(all supplies SU unless otherwise noted):
Stamps: Fireside Christmas, Punch Pals, Merry Winter
Paper: Garden Green, Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso, Naturals White, Frostwood Lodge DSP
Ink: Black StazOn, Versamark, Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso, Garden Green, Marina Mist, Elegant Eggplant, Bravo Burgundy, More Mustard, Always Artichoke, Basic Gray
Accessories: 1 1/4" circle punch, 1 3/8" circle punch, blender pen, dimensionals

  6. Holy snow squall Batman. -45 is COLD! I just checked the temperature here. It's 48 degrees. And by that I mean on the right side of the thermometer! At least you've got this great fireplace to dream about being warm! Great job with the coloring! Thanks for joining us at Freshly Made Sketches!
