Playing along with CAS(E) #402

This is the first time I am participating in a CASE(E) this sketch and I am so excited. For folks who don't know what CAS(E) this sketch is click on this link to learn more. Basically the design team puts out a CAS (Clean And Simple) sketch  along with some examples of using the sketch in an actual card to inspire card makers. I've followed along in previous challenges and this week I decided I want to participate as well.

The cue for this week's challenge is the sketch below.

I made this card inspired by Christmas.

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 lights to give it some sparkle.

Once I finished the above the card looked a little plain in the lower right corner and that is when I decided to add another wire with lights. In hindsight if I had sketched this out before hand it would have been better as I would have seen that the right hand corner looked empty.

I am still quite happy with how things turned out though!
