Upcycling for Speed

Actually I guess it isn't really upcycling if I actually bought the item specifically with the intention of making something else.  In the January sales, I bought a box of small Christmas cards that I thought were really pretty and they were really cheap!  I thought I could make slightly more elaborate Christmas cards out of them that would not require colouring and could be made quite quickly.  So far I have only managed to make one!!! But armed with some K&Co turquoise for mounting and a combination of Nestie dies, an MS punch and an SU punch with a tiny PTI sentiment I produced this.

And I'm entering it into the following challenges:
Papertake Weekly "Snow White"
Simon Says "Snowflakes"
Raise the Bar "Blues and Whites"
Sweet Stampin "Dies and Punches"
Totally Gorjuss "Oh no! Snow!"

Now there is a good reason that I have only made one of these so far and that is because The Hubster decided it would be a great idea to spend the last 5 days in Prague.  We had a lovely time but Number 1 daughter and Number 1 grandson arrive from Crete on Thursday and now I have a mountain of laundry, a largely undecorated house and rather a lot of non-crafting to get done before they get here including a trip to the ballet!
Here are a few night time pictures of our visit.

This is Hradcany Castle.
