Creative Inspirations - Clean & Simple or Fussy & Fancy !

Good Morning!

This week's challenge at CREATIVE INSPIRATIONS is Clean & Simple or Fussy & Fancy! Simply pick one of these styles to follow on your creations this week.
This week's prize is from RIVERSIDE CRAFTS and is a £10 VOUCHER!

I treated myself to a few of the gorgeous new stamps by Penny Black and couldn't wait to use the one called Berry Bevvy. I followed the Clean & Simple style as I think that's what suits this stamp best.
I even dug my Distress Inks back out which have been guiltily neglected and blended two of them together to create a winter sky.

Id like to enter this into the following challenges -
