This is my card for today's sketch challenge. This is my story:
1. It was hard not to notice that Roxie did not want us flipping this sketch today.
2. I made this card just like it was intended but after it was all done, everything finished, I made the mistake of turning it on its side!
3. OMG! It is so much cooler on its side! I actually thought long and hard...I so wanted to be a rebel today and load this up in the forbidden flipped view.
4. But Roxie works hard getting these sketches up every week and to honor her...I was a good little stamper.
5. But....let's cheat just a little....do your neck exercises this morning and turn you head as far as you possibly can and look at my card flipped..The bottom part looks like icicles. It's cooler huh.
6. When I mail this off to someone, you know what direction I am gonna write in! Shh..don't tell Rox!
Oh yeah, the part the snowflake is on is hunter green, it looks black here.

It is beautiful , Cindy .... and I did practically stand on my head to have a good look... and yes - it is even more awesome flipped around!! Gorgeous card! Love your choice of colours, and those rhinestones and scallops are perfect!

You are sooo right! It really looks gorgeous sitting on its side, but we won't tell Roxie that the inside is going to be rebellious. Love all the details.

Oh, you are sooo sneaky!!! Lovin' the bling on those snowflakes!!! Bet it really sparkles IRL. That center snowflake is awesome! The scalloped edge is beautifully done. Whole card is just terrific as usual.

I just love, love, love this card. I like it both ways & like in Nebraska, the wind blows off of Lake Erie & our icicles are sideways too, just like the snow comes sideways! Just an awesome card. TSMFS
