Summer card camp week 2 card

Hello - happy fourth of July! I was surprised to find a summer card camp pdf in my inbox this morning with it being a holiday - a nice surprise. This week's color combo is full of color and full of fun! I usually don't use these many bright colors on my cards. These last two color challenges have really challenged me to get out of my comfort zone. They really make up fun cards though! I'm loving trying all these new things.
This is the color combo for week 2:
I interpreted them as PTI harvest gold, orange zest, pure poppy, simply chartreuse and new leaf. Trouble is, I didn't have all those colors, so I substituted with what I had. I originally  made the card in the horizontal layout, but I kind of like it vertical too - see which you prefer.

I used PTI harvest gold and white cardstock, Beautiful Blooms 2 dies and stamps, I/O Birthday stamp set (sentiment), Memento ink in bamboo leaves and pear tart colors, Versafine onyx black ink, and patterned paper from Echo Park - a walk in the park 6x6 paper pad, as well as vintage buttons. Hope you enjoy!
