Baby, It's Cold Outside!

Yep.  The pseudo-spring we've been enjoying for the past month in upstate NY is officially over.  Boo!  This is a pic of our indoor/outdoor thermometer taken last night:



Inspired me to get out some old Stampscapes stamps and to do a little masking to create an "almost" flat card:


I stamped the images with black Stazon ink onto a piece of glossy white cardstock.  After masking off the "moon" with a die cut circle I sponged Ranger distress inks on the piece.  I'm going to be honest - for some reason I had a terrible time getting a crisp stamped image.  After several failed attempts I decided the blurry lines kind of resembled "mist" over the lake and went with it!  I added some Ranger icicle stickles to resemble frost. 
Other Materials Used:  Stampin' Up elegant eggplant cs, Papertrey ink white cs, Cuttlebug snowflake embossing folder

Hope you are warm wherever you are :)
