A few frames

The current challenge over at Craftyhazelnut's Christmas Challenge is to have a frame, window or aperture on your card. I've been trying not to miss this great weekly challenge but with less crafting time I had to sort through cards from last Christmas to upcycle. And guess what, I found a large square card with not only a window on it but also a framed mirror - reflecting the window :) I know, I know - really I stretched the definition of window and frame a bit! However, I chopped it down the middle and ended up with these:

Tee, hee - that be me arms holding the camera and some of me 'ead reflected in the mirri card :)

I used:

 - white DL card stock

 - gold mirri card plus some red behind the chopped up card

 - upcycled card as already explained

 - strips of gold embroidered red cotton edging, bought in Germany

Two super-quick cards - and I'm also entering this into Craftyhazelnut's Christmas Challenge Extra for June, which is always 'anything goes'.

    They might be super quick, but they are very attractive cards. I love it when you can upcycle two for one - hope to see you again soon for both CHNC challenges x
