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.

You are such a rebel indeed. I love the red and white, the scalloped icicle edge, the little card on the top and the beautiful rubbon. The card does look great flipped, you are allowed to write in any direction you want, I won't tell!

You are a rebel at heart - but just for you I did turn my monitor to have a look at your creation 'flipped' (it's much easier to rotate my monitor than my neck). Either way, this a a fab creation and I do love your 'icicles'. And the bling-bling on those snowflakes is perfect. Love how your main panel opens up like a little card of its own. TFS

Beautiful, Cindy!!! I turned my neck and agree, I like it better on it's side. The edging both places are so unique. Love the small card opening too. Colors are fabulous. And I love your comments about it too.

Beautiful card. Only you would think of the icicles at the bottom. Roxy would be proud of you for 'following' the rules. Super card either way you look at it.
