Super challenge! Love snowflakes and I have them on my ornament and also on the top piece of dp.
I stamped the ornament w/ concord ink & added color w/ Copic markers. The greeting was stamped on a strip of the same snowflake paper, added a hint of color before attaching it across the ornament w/ a couple of purple mini brads.
For the snowflake paper layer, I used a French curve ruler & a craft knife to cut the curvy borders. After piercing along the edges, I added a bunch of graduating sizes of circles. These were die cut & although I didn't use the actual die cut, I liked all the little rounded dots.
Thanks so much for looking! It's on my blog w/ close ups: The Write Stuff

I'm sure it was your background that inspired me this morning !! I love how you 'opened' part of your design, which highlights the bauble. It's lovely.

Wow! That is a really cool layout! I love the curvy panels and the way you accented them with the sparkly circles and piercing. I love the underlying paper too....the damask look is very rich! The ornament is beautiful too. An absolutely fabulous card! Into my favs.
