As part of my craft clearout I've emptied my box of upcycled cards to see which ones I will really use. I've been a bit ruthless and those that I've decided I won't use have gone into the recycling bin, I've made cards from some and a few have gone back into the box.
To make this card I used a lovely Santa and soldier card. I've kept the card quite simple as there's so much detail in the picture. The soldiers and Santa are highlighted with gold so I trimmed a strip of gold glitter paper and attached it across the lower part of a red card blank. I them trimmed the Santa card and then attached it across the centre of the glitter strip.
To make this card I used:
7" x 5" red embossed tent fold card blank
Upcycled Christmas card
Gold adhesive glitter sheet
