SMO Finish

I finished this piece a few days ago but hadn't had time to scan it. I like the way it turned out but the scan doesn't do it justice. Haven't decided how to finish it yet. Any ideas? It's one of the 2007 SMO 12 Days Of Christmas pieces. The colors were changed to darker blues because I had a scrap of blue Fiddler's cloth I wanted to use up. It reminds me of dark skies. I tried using DMC Precious Metal Effects
E317 on one of the largest flakes. Man, that stuff is difficult to stitch with!
