This is a special card I made for my sweet friend, Nancy Littrell and it qualifies for today's challenge, using designer paper, animal and a holiday. It's a swinging easel card, with a separate attachment behind the front wreath, that holds the birds. I die cut all of the accessories and formed the main wreath, then I cut a separate circle frame to attach the birds and a few branches to, behind so they are separate from the main wreath. It gives a nice dimension. I got the idea for this type of easel card from one BronJ posted back in October. Here's the link to her card.

This is beautiful! the papers are lovely with all the Christmas images on them and the two rings for birds and wreath is a terrific design for the dimension it gives! The little red gems finish it off so nice with that bit of sparkle!

OMG...I am still sooooo Thrilled to have received your Beautiful, Sweet, Clever, and Creative swinging easel Christmas Card, Sue. Loved the Basic Grey DSP, ALL the die cuts so creatively arranged and the pretty red rhinestones that shine like tiny lights:-) Love the stop using the die cut leaves and sentiment tag too. The sweet birds were perfect for inside the wreath. I will be saving our treasured card and display every Christmas:-)
