This card couldn't be simpler (without my mistake). I stamped the holly twice - first with full strength ink and the next with a second generation inking stamping it just a tad off the original image to create a shadow. I love the dimension you get with this technique. First I stamped the berries in red and Versamark and embossed it with clear e.p. I didn't like it! I was ready to abandon it but remembered my transparent red dots so I applied a dot of Glossy accents to the berries and added the dots and it definitely looks better. I made a bow and stuck it on the top of the stem - done. The inside of the card has a sentiment from Stampa Rosa (OoB) that reads: Have a Holly, Jolly Christmas! Is that song in your head yet?! Welcome to the club! I think I'm done for this year ...whew. This would be an easy mass production type of card and easy to mail. I was going to add this to CAS302 challenge but reread the instructions and you were suppose to actually have music notes, singing birds or musical instruments. I'm guessing the music in my head doesn't count, lol.
Thanks so much for looking! I hope my card helps to inspire you to create a card and/or finish up your holiday cards. Happy Holidays everyone!

What a pretty CAS card. I love the second generation stamping and your berries are gorgeous. The bow was a wonderful finishing touch.
