It's almost Christmas

 Happy Wednesday!!  It's time for another challenge from The House That Stamps.  This week is: LOL (snarky or funny)

And here is the card I created:

I went a little to the snarky side.  I haven't used this set a whole lot because I try not to do too much "potty humor", but I really couldn't resist.  It actually started with a fun sketch I saw (see my challenge list below) which led me to a slimline card and this larger sized sentiment.  And of course, I had to add the outhouse.  I free-hand cut my my snowbank and traced it onto my background panel.  I stamped the pine tree repeatedly across the tree line with Black Soot Distress oxides so they would be visible but also blend in a little.  I stamped the tree again twice with a pine green ink and then sponged blue ink around the edges to blend them into the background.  I stamped, colored and fussy cut the outhouse.  I stamped the main sentiment with versamark and heat embossed it with white embossing powder.  I adhered the snowbank, trees and outhouse in place and then splatted on some white paint to look like snow.  I added a little bit of blue marker to make a "path" to the outhouse.  I stamped the rest of the sentiment with navy ink, fussy cut it out and adhered it with some foam tape.
