This month I'm challenging myself to finish part-made cards, use bits from my snippets box and have a general tidy up of my crafting drawers. This card uses a strip from the front of a Christmas card I received last year.
I trimmed a strip from the front of the Christmas card, cutting on either side of the dashed lines. I placed the card blank in my MISTI and put the strip on top so I could see here to position the sentiment stamp. I stamped the sentiment in Satin Red ink and then stamped it again in Crimson Red so the colour matched the reindeer strip. To finish I attached the strip above the sentiment.

To make this card I used:
5.5" x 4.25" white matt card blank
Upcycled Christmas card
Clearly Besotted 'Cheerful Christmas' sentiment stamp
Versafine Crimson Red & Satin Red ink

Love your upcycled card the reindeer strip far to pretty to discard
This has the Nordic feel with the pretty white on red deer, trees and hearts and the added red greeting is perfect Kath. x
