Clean and Simple @ Inpsired Stamps

Good Mornings all :)

I'm sailing in today with an

Inspired Stamps 

creation!

I can not tell a lie ...
I was greatly challenged this week!
As Antoinette asked us to try our hands at some Clean & Simple cards!
And if possible make a set! 

You hyperventilating ?
I can tell you now, I WAS hyperventilating
Just thinking about this challenge!

I had about 4 attempts at this "Clean and Simple thing" until I finally settled on a design that I liked, that also worked with the challenge and was something that I was not going back to go back to afterwards and add more to.

And this is where Mr Mojo and I ended up :)

I am very impressed with how well these turned out! 

And I think they are quiet striking as a set all together.

And back at the set together! 

This set started with the Joy to the world scripture from the Vintage Christmas set available from Inspired stamps.  I did my best to keep the embellishments minimal by only adding the touches of ribbon, bow and some red pearl sprays.  I then mounted it all on some pop dots and placed them on a base cut from the largest of the spellbinders Fleur De Lis Squares.

 I fell in love with the first one, so I continued on using the The Lord has come sentiment, also from the Vintage Christmas set. I tried to change the color of the ribbon around, but I loved the red and white combo and kinda got it stuck in my head.  

For the third card in the set I combined the shepherds silhouette and the star, also from the Vintage Christmas set.  And again, followed the same line as the previous for the embellishments. 

I have absolutely fallen in love with this set! 

And I know they were orginally meant to be cards ... 

But all together they tell a lovely story

So I have popped them up on my buffet to use a display instead :$ 

I have also been privy to have a sneak peak at what the other girls have been up too! 

And they have some gorgeous cards to share with you too!
