No Embellishments KCRR

Good morning! I was able to get out on the lake for a few hours last night, it was such a calm, peaceful evening... just the perfect way to wrap up a less-than-great workday! Here's a pic of the sun setting over the lake:

Well, it's Thursday, so that means a new KCRR challenge! I also wanted to play along with Mojo Monday and the Color Throwdown:

The selections for KCRR this week were: no embellishments, just paper (eek!!) and the stamp set Patterned Occasions. These, combined with the above, turned into this! A cute little hello card:

*lol* I smile every time I see it! The lively colours and the cute little elephant are perfect to send to a friend for a quick note. The cloudy day embossing folder is a great compliment to the tempting turquoise strip.

Overall, while I really REALLY wanted to add pearls to this, the no embellishments turned out to be not that hard *lol* Before I wrap it up, I just wanted to do a quick shout-out for my unconventional wedding card that was selected as a "top pick" over at Stampin' Royalty!
