Upcycled Christmas Card

I'm still on a mission to use up oddments and snippets - as well as making more Christmas cards so I don't have a last minute rush later in the year.  This card uses an image from a Christmas card I received last year as well as a snippet of paper from a charity shop bag of oddments.

To make this card I used:
     C6 white matt card blank
     Upcycled Christmas card
     My Favorite Things 'Inside & Out Stitched Oval STAX Die-namics' die`
     Snippets of green and gold paper and white paper

I die cut the image from the front of the Christmas card and set it aside.  I attached the snippet of patterned paper to the white paper to make it the same thickness as the die cut image, before trimming it so it was slightly smaller than the card blank.  I die cut an oval from the centre of the paper before attaching it to the front of the card blank.  To finish I inlaid the the dog image.

I am entering the following challenges:
     Krafty Chicks Challenge - Christmas
     Merry Little Christmas Challenge - Anything Christmas Goes
     Sparkles Christmas Challenge - Christmas Critters
     Try It On Tuesday - Keep It Simple

Wonderful detail on this upcycled card using the doggy image and looks great with the green and gold dp and love the way you built up the paper so that you could inlay the image Kath. x
