I am gathering with some of my fellow Center Stage Spotlight Alumni members for a fun sketch challenge. Guess what, I created this sketch that we all used. I really like this sketch and can't wait to see what my fellow CSSers do with it. You should have arrived here from seeing Lori's beautiful creation, if not you can go back to StampTV and start from the beginning....you don't want to miss a thing.
So, here is the sketch we used:
Now for the inside of the card. I used a sentiment from the GKD Festive Frame set. I added another stacked snowflake with a little pearl in the center.Now it is time for me to send you hopping on your way. Head on over to Melissa's blog and check out her awesome creation.

Gorgeous card.
Those snowflakes are super! Thanks for showing the interior of the card as I get so stumped as to what to do.
I love everything about this card, but especially the way you used the same die to cut out the sentiment inside as you did on the front. Such a great idea..hope you don't mind if I "borrow" it.
Gorgeous cards.........both inside AND out.
Love your cards
Great job on both!

This is an elegant card that is fun, too. I would never have thought of making a shaker box. Thanks for the idea and inspiration.
Love the 2 pines with snow. Reminds me of a tag that some t!m fellow did. (wink) The green snow flakes with the other two just tie it all together. Beautifully done.
Great ideas, thanks.

Melissa, Absolutely Beautiful! I love your shaker and your snowflake
flowers! I would love to lean how to make a card like this! Thanks for sharing!
I am so glad to see that you embellished the inside of the card. I believe that the inside of the card should be as impressive as the front. I embellish the inside of all my cards and I think those who receive them love it...Your card is GORGOUS...simply perfect.
I really like the nestability shape you selected for the center panel Melissa and your snowflakes look spectacular with the golden layers, really eye-catching!
Inside and Out - beautiful!
Both cards are gorgeous but the shaker card and it's colors and snow effect gets the nod as my favorite! TFS your creativity!
