Upcycling

A quick and easy Christmas card, using a little upcycling.

I die cut the front of the shop bought card card we received last year, using a die from the Lisa Horton 'Scalloped Layered Squares' set.  The mat is gold mirror card, die cut using a die from the same set.   I add three gold sequin and my card was finished.

I am joining in the following challenges:
