Heavenly Angel- Memory Box Snowflake release

I love it when i can be creative!  I've said this before, i envision something and sometimes it turns out like i envision it and others it takes on it's own vision.  This is one of those times, when it took on it's own vision.

I am creating this card for Dutch Paper Crafts and the Memory Box Snowflake release.  Let me just say that this die set i am using is "To Die For"...it is just gorgeous.
I used Memory Box Peaceful Snowflake Frame Set #98716.

Close up details:

The details on the silver/metal- looking frame is so awesome.
 For the card base i used the Grand sized Spellbinders scalloped oval LF-111, i cut the card base off the fold and then cut the scallop one more time out of a kraft pattern paper, then i cut it one more time out of vellum and embossed the vellum using an Anna Griffin embossing folder- 5x7 Poppy.  The next layer is Spellbinders Floral oval S4356..the largest one and i used the classic oval to cut out the center to make it a frame and cut it out of antique glitter paper.  Then i cut out the Memory Box Peaceful Snowflake frame out of a thick silver metallic cardstock.  I used a cream pattern paper for the inside of the frame using the MB Peaceful Snowflake die set, and then i used the small frame and cut it out twice, once out of aqua and then out a cream glitter paper...i put those together slightly off, to give it a shadow.  Then i used an adorable angel from A Day for Daisies.
*A tip...the largest frame has snowflakes on the top and bottom of the frame, and at the end there are circles where you can attach threads, ribbons..etc.  I chose to use garland and at the bottom threaded some jingle bells. 

Image is from A Day for Daises called Snowflake Fairy, she is retired.
