My card was very difficult to photograph because of the foiled background card from Hunkydory, on to which I added a strip of embossed mirror card using the lovely star of wonder embossing folder, using up a scrap piece of mirror card. I actually made this for last Christmas for my brother and sister-in-law, but didn't get round to blogging  it, but thought it was appropriate for today's challenge. I upcycled the piece of card in the middle, adding some washi tapes and snowflakes - 3D and glittered stickers.
