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
