Christmas Recycling

I do like a bargain and espeically when its a non crafting bargain that I can use in my crafting - if that makes sense! I've used some quite posh wrapping paper (Tom Smith) for my card base, inked the edges and added a faux stitch. The middle panel is a bit turned over and I've added some velvet type ribbon from the scrap store that was originally a rosette bottom bit (the proper word escapes me, but you know what I mean!)

The red and white twine is a bargain from Ikea - 30 metres of the stuff for a few quid! Although I should have thought a bit longer about how to attach it to the card as it doesn't tie too neatly!

The buttons are from my stash and I've used half a bit of garden twine to tie through the red button.

I'd like to enter the following challenges:
