This is my final card for the design team for the colour challenge for August. I have had so much fun. Thank you all for inviting me it was a wonderful experiance.
Now for the card, I wanted to do something a little different so this card is a long card fitting a DL envelope 110mm x 220mm. I haven't used a lot of Dafodil Delight, just a little sponging around the image and some of the ribbon. The little berries are also done with liquid pearls (buttercup) which also hightlights the yellow. The top greeting is done in Kiwi Kiss (I don't have the Lucky Limeade ink pad) The bottom greeting is done in Rich Razzleberry and then overstamped with Versa Mark and heat embossed.
Photo isn't as good as I would like it but you get the idea.
I'm also going to use this card as my July submittions for the Christmas Card Challenge, just have to make two more and two tags.
A little behind with my CCC cards but will get there in the end.
Hope you enjoy the card

I wouldn't have thought to use these cards for a Christmas card, but it looks really great. I like the long card too. What a wonderful design. I love it.

Beautiful! Would never have thought to use these colors for this stamp set, you have inspired me to rethink my color palette when stamping with this set. Love the soft look of the colors!
