It all came together within 10 mins after that. I used some of the discarded frame for the corners faux stitching around the edge (to mimic the stitching already on the leaves ) using a gold highlighter and pearls /bow from my stash. Simples!

You \re right...It does not need anything more. I think the boldness of the green is just so nice against the white. It looks great and the addition of the bit of gold is perfect.
A lovely way to turn something old into something new and beautiful. Thanks so much for joining us this week at 52CCT!
Perfect card :)

I adore buttons on a card - your card is gorgeous! It has a nice homespun feel to it which I do like a lot.

Using your scraps to embellish the corners of the card worked really nicely! I like the clean and simple design of your card. Thanks for sharing it in this week's challenge at 52{C}CT.
Fab Mrs A! Just goes to show how we can sometimes overlook the simple options! xx
It's great when that happens! Love those mistletoe images. Love that lime green colour frame. Thanks for playing along with us this week in the embellishment challenge at 52 CCt

I had to chuckle at your story, as the same kind of thing happened to me with a cardinal recycle, and my idea for using, just wasn't working. Wish I had thought to do what you did! Loved all the buttons, and your use of the frame was inspired. This is so sparkly and pretty. Loving all the green. I thought about Hazel's challenge as I saw your picture. TFS & Happy wkend. Hugs
Lovely piece of recycling and it looks fine just as it is.
Thanks for joining in with Rudolph Day.
