Baby its cold outside

I had a longer phrase in mind at first, but since this is my first try at hand lettering illustrations, I decided to keep it simple...plus it is getting cold and we are seeing snow in the mountains here which reminds me I haven't made a holiday card yet....so hey let's kill two birds with this project...

Anyway, originally I was thinking along the lines of 50s kitsch, Sinatra, Vegas, but I think I may add some victorianish elements, not really sure,at this point, maybe when I start with the thumbnails it will gel in my head a bit better.

Here is my brainstorming list and mood board so far...
