Playing along with MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge - Sketch 52

Back this week to participate in another cardmaking challenge! This time with MFT . MFT is one of my favorite stamp companies.

Unfortunately the image didn't quite turn out the way I thought it would (even though my daughter kept saying that it looked great 🙂).  I ended up heat embossing the image again and then colored it with my Zig Clean color brush markers. I added some splatters on the card in white and copper. I then trimmed the image into the shapes in the sketch and then stuck the images on A2 size navy cardstock.

I started off by first embossing the light using Altenew gold embossing powder and the MFT lights stamp. I then stamped the leaves and pine cone and the sentiment (from Wplus9). I sometimes did some second generation stamping with the leaves to give it some depth (I don't think my photography skills captured that though 😅). I then die cut the lights in 3 different colors and adhered it to the embossed wire. I also added glossy accents on the l
