I made this card using today's sketch SSC462) and yesterday's color challenge (CC452)
I created my panels with a marvelous squares die from Spellbinders. My snowflake from the ODBD Sparkling Snowflake was embossed in pearl and sponged with Bermuda Bay, Pool Party, and Coastal Cabana starting at the edges from darkest to lightest. I did this three times (front and back of folded pop up panel and back snowflake).
The sentiment is from ODBD Vintage Pattern Ornaments.
Thanks for looking!!

Your stitching is so interesting, Chris, a very nice change from the normal straight stitch! Beautiful sb dies used to frame this gorgeous 3-D snowflake! A very special Christmas card indeed~
