MTTC Blog Challenge no 444 Clean and Simple Christmas Card

 Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog! It's been a crazy work week so I'm going to keep the posting streamlined...to keep my heart less stressed here at the weekend! The theme is Clean and Simple Christmas! On the MTTC blog, Shell, the owner has asked that 3/4 of the card should be white and plain. I'll admit I'm a bit of a rebel on this because to me 'white space' as a journalistic term meant empty space, so it doesn't matter if the cardstock/paper is a color or a patterned as long as the majority of your card doesn't have stamping/digi image or embellishments.

My CAS inspiration came from these 2 cards saved to a Pinterest board when I searched online for CAS Christmas cards or scrapbook layouts: (Heather Campbell)

and an almost identical one (gerispaperwishes) saved to the same board:

Thanks gals for helping out this paper-crafting sister!
