I was going to have everything on the card bang in the middle but then I started playing , cut the red paper down a bit and quite liked the result of placing it all off centre.
I cut slits for the tartan and red ribbon to tuck into and then covered with a strip of edging from another card cut to look like faux ribbon. Papers have been in my stash forever and were loose so not sure of the makes.

Your card is lovely! I'm a big fan of upcycling. Great job, I love the ribbon and bow.

Wowee Mrs A, this is fabulous!! Love the way all the layers work together, and such a great design too.
Hope you've managed to sneak into The Flufferie and snaffle yourself some goodies :) Have a great weekend!
Hugs, Di xx
Fab! You can't ever go wrong with the colours of nature and roses. Pink or red with green and white or cream is in my mind the most delicious colour combination
Xxx
This beautiful, I love way you have layered this card up.
That is a very pretty card, very stylish. Thank you for your visit today. If you want to stamp or print onto acetate, you need to get the stuff that is rough on one side, and print or stamp onto that side. let it dry well and then colour on the rough side. Remember that if you are doing a sentiment it will be back to front unless you do it in reverse (lie a reflection). If you want to know any more, just email me. xx Maggie

Great card, the colours are so festive :) Thanks for joining us at Sarah Hurley Challenges this month, Carol x
Hi Mrs A. So sorry it's taken me an absolute age to get by and say thank you for following my blog - you should think twice about that though you know, I can talk the hind leg off a donkey!!!
Gorgeous card (and cards and tags, I've had a wander back through your blog!), you're very organised to be making Christmas cards this early. I panic on the 1st of December and then bang them out en mass!!
Cheerio for now,
Sarah
PS - It's nice to 'meet' Fluffs' mum. I will watch out and see if you post any embarrassing, oh no I meant funny, posts about her!
Ahh and I've just followed you back.
Be worried, very worried - I waffle and am not afraid to share!
Sarah
Very pretty! I love your design. Everything is pretty and shimmery.
Really like what you did with this layout! Good idea to add the trims as you did...sparks up the main focal image so well. Like that off-center red too. TFS
It's lovely Mrs A. I always recycle my Christmas cards into tags for next year.
Hope your shoulder gets better soon, sounds painful! xx
I wouldn't have guessed that any of this attractive card was upcycled. I am so sorry that I got behind with commenting, so this is very late - thanks for entering my CHNC challenge extra for March – hope to see you again soon. x
Fab layout Mummy and a pretty bow! xx
I have carefully recorded the idea to use slits for the ribon. Brilliant idea.
I love ribbon, have tons of it, and never think of it at the time I am building the pieces of my card. By the time i think of it, I have the piece affixed already that i would have wrapped it around. This would solve my problem!
Ahhh, such is life with concussion
afteraffects. I used to use a lot of ribbon before that silly derr leap out in front.
Off to check back further on what I have missed.
Recycling old greetings cards is such a wonderful thing to do and this is perfect. Thanks for entering into the recycling challenge with Sarah Hurley.
