Card Recycle

I had a few minutes to just play in my craft area the other day and I decided to work with some Christmas cards I had received last year.  Some of them are just too pretty to throw away, you know?  One of them was large enough that I was able to cut it in half and create two cards out of it.  This card is the bottom half of the card.  I die cut the image with a rectangle die and matted it on some holographic card stock that I die cut with a stitched rectangle die.  I then matted both onto a red card stock base.  It didn't need much as the sentiment was already included on the cared, so I added some die cut snowflakes that were cut out of a white glitter paper.

You can see the shine from the holographic paper and the glitter from the snowflakes better in the photo below.
