Inspired by a color board

I made a card being inspired by the colors over at AAA Cards. 

I had an image from Scrappehuset that was spot on for the colors, and I made my own background using a mix of distress and distress oxide inks, colors aged mahogany, wild honey, kitsch flamingo and mustard seed.
I wanted a bit of texture to the background so I used a Lisa Horton embossing folder. For a CAS look that might have been a mistake? I liked the look and cut the panel smaller so more of the card base would show. In retrospect I could have done it even smaller, but I liked the look of it. 

I kept the design simple by not adding any embellishments other than a touch a stickles glue on the flower's centres, as well as a simple greeting. 

Sometimes I find it hard to know exactly where the limit is for CAS and I will not be offended in any way if my card will be removed. But I liked the colors for a summery look and feel and wanted to join:
