Last chance for Elementary Elegance!

Hi Stampers!
The end of the month approaches quickly which means that Sale-a-bration is ending!  That's right, March 31st is the last day to place your order to qualify for all those free goodies!  In honor of Sale-a-bration I wanted to use one of the FREE sets that I earned- Elementary Elegance.  I also wanted to join the color challenge at Create with Connie and Mary, ccmc195, so here is what I came up with:
The colors of the challenge are Poppy Parade, Basic Grey, and So Saffron.  They feel more masculine to me so I went a little understated in this simple card, and I think you could give it to a man or a woman.  If you look closely you will see that I stamped the frame stamp like wallpaper on the diagonal in the background.  This was a subtle way to create a little more interest without all the fancy tools.  Sizzix is my friend, of course, but not invited to every event!
Thanks for stopping by!

    Love, love, love the wallpaper background you created with that beautiful stamp! The yellow and gray just POP off the poppy background too. Great job! So glad you joined us at CCMC!

    Adorable way to use the frame and a great way to have the other colors pop off of the Poppy Parade. Nice to see you at Create with Connie & Mary!
