3d frame using dies

hello peeps
welcome to a new and wonderful 2015...
I have not been blogging since long..
but I am finally back in the new year and will try to blog on regular basis...
I came across a fun challenge at lulupu
so here I am with my take on the challenge hosted at lulupu..
3d creations with dies... it was my sister's birthday so I thought of creating a 3d frame with using dies..

front view

when folded flat

side view

This is my frame card used spellbinders reflective moment card creator dies , pearls , tacky tape, black Cardstock  daisy flowers and joy crafts branch die.
Tried to give a shadow box look to the frame I had cut out the center space of the die cut using my craft knife then used another Cardstock to create the shadow box and then adhered it to the front frame and scored the second die cut and adhered to create the frame and finally embellished.

Hope you like my try on creating this frame card.
Do leave some love.
