To start this card I picked out this gorgeous snowflake paper I wanted to use for my background from the Snow Flurries Paper Pad and cut it out using the large scalloped rectangle from the Frames and Flags Die Set.  I also chose this beautiful purple glitter paper, that matched perfectly, from the Cheerful Brights Glitter Cardstock Assortment.  I cut the glitter paper to 1 3/4" wide and used the scalloped rectangle die again to cut the outside edges.

I stamped the absolutely beautiful Snowflake Oval, and sentiment, onto blue cardstock and white heat embossed.  I then used the largest scalloped oval die in the Oval Frames Die Set to cut around the image.  

I assembled my card using blue cardstock for the base and popped up the oval with foam tape for some dimension!  I then added a cute white bow and a few sparkling sequins!
