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.

Well, Cindy, I like your story and I love your card...like it is. Now, I would think it would be okay with Roxie if you made a second card turned the other way. I can see your point...it does look like icicles along the bottom when you turn your head and it would be just as wonderful that way. I think the gorgeous colors, the snowflakes along the edge and the little focal snowflake with all the sparkles are delightful. In other words...your card is perfect!!!! TSMFS
