And here's my creation:
Sometimes cards come together quickly, but this was definitely not one of those cards! I think I worked on this one for almost 4 hours before I finally got a combination that I liked. I think my husband thought he had lost me to the crafting dungeon forever!
I'm still not sure about the focal point being off-center, though. The engineer in me really likes symmetry, so I challenged myself to try out a different layout in addition to using all those colors. I'd love to hear what you think...
supplies used (SU! unless noted otherwise):
...............
stamps: defining alphabet, eastern blooms
ink: whisper white craft ink, so saffron marker, real red marker, chocolate chip marker
paper: whisper white, so saffron, real red, tempting turquoise, chocolate chip
other: medium corner rounder (EK Success); texture plate (Fiskars); yellow seam binding (MS)

Oooh, I love your card for the challenge. You pulled the colors together so perfectly! Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my blog. I have THOROUGHLY enjoyed perusing through yours. :) Beautiful work!
Beautiful... I love what you did for this challenge!
that is a beautiful card - I like the off centre look myself, although I find I always end up with the focus to the right - maybe being left handed?!
Your card is wonderful! Don't worry about the focal point being off-center - I learned from a photography class that this is sometimes even more eye pleasing. You did a great job!
This does look great! I love all of the clean lines. And I love the focal being off center, but that's kind of my style!
Beautiful card! I love the textured background and the rounded corners. And those little flowers framing the aloha! Great job. And thank you for your kind words on my blog.
Hugs!

Loved this card! Thanks so much for your sweet comment on my blog.
Hi Amy, I love this card! I didn't do that challenge because I thought it would take me way longer than 4 hours! I'm an engineer also, so your comment about the symmetry hit close to home. Love those stationery sets also. Jennifer
I like the panel off to the left - the cuttling is super and the colors are terrific! great color card for the challenge.
