I'm happy to be hosting this week's color challenge with the combo of Granny Apple Green, Mango Melody and Misty Moonlight. For dessert we have craft ink.
Hint: Misty Moonlight is one of Stampin' Up!'s new colors this year. If you don't have it you can get something quite close by applying white craft ink to navy cardstock. That is what I did for the background of this card. I tapped my white pad onto the embossing folder before running it through. Even though I'd started by stamping white with my beloved Buffalo Check stamp I really loved the way the Dainty Diamonds folder looked with white and navy and my card took a little detour and I revisited a previous sketch I'd done with these daisies. They were stamped with 3rd generation inking with Misty Moonlight with "Friend" stamped at full strength.
The daisy centers were colored with Mango Melody Blends. The feathery leaves are from the Boho Indigo dies. Not really daisy leaves but I thought they looked at home. As I've done before, I let the third daisy start to slide off the corner.
I added skinny navy border at the edge of my background and a couple of Misty Moonlight borders on my greeting strip. The strips weren't even so I put the thicker one on the bottom - I just have a thing about that...

Your bg embossing looks like a piece of dp, Chris. Wow, I'm impressed at what you did with that white ink! Beautiful card....love the daisies; they look white with just a hint of color, so pretty~
