Go green!

We're going green at Make My Monday! Well not literally, we want you to do some upcycling.I have used a Japanese Christmas card as they are always too lovely to throw away. Last year's was particulary pretty, but  my photo really doesn't do it justice.

I merely cut the front off as I didn't want to lose any of the picture, then matted it onto some dark blue pearlescent paper - also upcycled. It was the backing sheet from a Clarity Stamp stencil, also too nice to put in the bin.  I added some gold ribbon across the corners then matted that onto gold foil card, before adding to a white card blank. The picture itself has lots of gold embossing on it. Here's a close up. All the little specks are gold.

As it's also time for Rudolph Day again, this is my entry.
