Inkspirational Challenge #357 - Designer Choice: Cold

 Inkspirational Challenge #357 is up over at the blog - It's Designer Choice this time and Marlena has chosen COLD!


I went with 'snow' as it certainly needs to be cold to snow!  AND I got to use my recently purchased Holiday Moose die and stencil set from Waffle Flower -   he cracks me up just being shown from the snout up - SO clever!!  And he's so easy to color using the stencils.
I layered him over a panel of a dark snowy sky DP and I added Glitter Dust to his antlers just to show how REALLY cold out it is!  The sentiment is from a retired set by PTI.

We'd love to see what you create using COLD!  Please link up your creation over at the Inspirational Blog where you will also find inspiration from the rest of the team!

This challenge ends January 2nd!
