motivation adventure

I'm still struggling a bit with motivation, and I still need two or three more cards so I can start signing and addressing cards this week.  Sometimes I find motivation in conquering a challenge, so I decided to try something in clean and simple, which is a bit of a challenge for me, and work in a few card making challenges as well.  I started with the Color Throwdown #371, Black, White, Gold and included embossing for Holly Jolly Christmas.  Since I was trying to keep it clean and simple, the code word Joy at Addicted to Clean and Simple seemed like the finishing touch:

stamp set - Peaceful Wreath; ink - Versamark; Stampin' Emboss powder - gold; card stock - Whisper White thick, Gold Foil; designer series paper - Winter Wonderland vellum; Big Shot with Project Life Cards and Labels and Wonderful Wreath framelits
I haven't decided how much I like it, I'm not sure it's truly clean and simple (it certainly is white!) and I don't even know if I feel motivated yet, but I'll go back in for another round...
