I used Verena's sketch over at the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge to make my card and went just a tiny bit rogue and made the card using the book binding technique. I started with a single layer of Boho Blue cs (SU!) and then attached a piece of white cs that was cut at 3 1/2" x 9 1/2" and scored at 4 3/4" and again at 3 3/4" to form the book binding. I added a 1" strip of dsp (PTI) to stamp my sentiment on and then stamped the giant snowflake (Colorado Craft Co. - Wishes Snowflake) in Boho Blue ink.
I did spray the snowflake with Sheer Shimmer Mist Sparkle, so it really sparkles IRL! I also added a strip of silver glitter cardstock between the snowflake and the dsp, and also tied some white baker's twine between the two. I finished with a few iridescent clear drops from PFS and called it good.
I'd like to enter this card into the Freshly Made Sketches challenge and also the JUGS challenge where it's WORD week and the word is WINTER.
Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!

I saw that sketch right away, Marcia! Love your big ol' snowflake and I'm with you on enjoying the paper ones so much more than the real deal. Thanks for sharing your pretty winter card with us at Just Us Girls!
I can see some of that icy sparkle and that beautiful snowflake, Marcia! I love the bookbinding fold on the card! It's perfect for this sketch! Wishing you many hours of fun with paper snowflakes, my friend! Not so much the real stuff.
A perfect "fold" for the sketch, Marcia! I love all the bits, the vertical sentiment, the silver line and bow, not to mention that fun fold. Fun card, Marcia, even if it is having a bit of snow without getting out in it!
This sketch is ideal for the book binding fold and your big snowflake makes a fabulous Christmas card! Love that glitter strip and the string, and I can even make out some of your shimmer spray which I know is totally eye catching IRL. Perfect for the two challenges, Marcia!
Cool and lovely, the colors and that big ole snowflake funfold perfectly fit the sketch and winter themes.
I love the frosty look to this card! The bookbinding is just perfect for the sketch! Thanks for playing along with us at FMS.
You've got me singing the blues - but only in a good way! I love what you've done with this pretty snowflake, Marcia and how you've incorporated Verena's sketch!

This is such a fun design Marcia, love the blue snowflake. We saw some white stuff last week but today it is pouring rain--bye bye but I know not for long!
Fabulous use of the sketch - love the pretty snowflake too. Thanks for joining in at JUGS
