Classy Cards N Such - 1-2-3

I am sharing a card I made for the 1-2-3 challenge.    I used one bird, two deer and three silver beads.   I went to a card swap last week with friends and we were suppose to make Christmas cards.  When I was almost finished with my card,  I realized I had all the elements for the 1-2-3 challenge, if  I would only use one bird.   Now you know how I came to make a Christmas card for today.  

I started my card by cutting a  white card base.  I cut the piece of snowflake paper to layer on top of the base.   I embossed the Christmas Blessings sentiment with Silver  Embossing Powder.  I used the Impression Obsession Birch Trees die and cut the trees from white card stock.  I attached them to my card. The red bird was part of the birch tree die.  I used the Our Daily Bread Designs Beautiful Border die to cut the top border to be used as icicles in my snowy scene.    I used glue dots to attach  them.   I used silver beads to trim the border.  I tore pieces of paper and embossed them for the snow.  I attached it at the bottom of my card and sponged it with blue ink.  I used a Impression Obsession Small Deer Die for the deer and then attached them to the card.  

Thank you for stopping in today.
