I stamped an inky background first with one of the splodge images from Happy Watercolour before stamping the word. TIP: I used a sticky note to line up the words on the righthand side and a stamp-a-majig to position them neatly on top of each other.
Here's another version with a neutral Crumb Cake background and card base:
Hmmm. I think I prefer it - how about you?
I spotted the gorgeous colour combination at the Color Throwdown this week:

ReplyDeleteHello Hello Hello Vicky! Lovely CAS card. Both versions are great. x
ReplyDeleteReally nice Vicky - two lovely cards but I think I prefer the neutral one!
ReplyDeleteLovely colour combinations in both cards, Vicky. Who'd believe how useful those splodges in the Happy Watercolour set could be! Jackie xx
ReplyDeleteLove both cards, but the Crumb Cake base really lets the sentiment sing.
ReplyDeleteI love the simple way you've used the three's challenge and the three colors in the color challenge. Very striking!
ReplyDeleteJust to be awkward, I love the bright one Vicky, super and effective creations both.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for joining us at LIM

Love the triple greeting and the watercolour effect - great CAS design!
ReplyDeleteGreat CAS design Vicky and it says everything!

They are both super, but I think I prefer the one with the crumb cake base, it allows the colours to pop!
ReplyDeleteBoth great cards but I especially like the one on crumb cake.

Undecided on the nicest colour combo. Great card - know any coppers to send it to? Jenny
ReplyDeleteI think I agree Vicky, but wouldn't say the blue one is not good, just "different".
ReplyDeleteThank you for your lovely comment on my post.
Two fabby cards Vicky. You just know I`m going to go for the blue base don`t you, love my bright colours.

I really like them both but if I had to choose it would be the crumb cake even though blue is my colour. the crumb cake makes the colours of the ink jump out at you. x Jan
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea to repeat the sentiment and a truly british greeting if you knocked the 'h's off too :0) I prefer the Cc base too!!!
ReplyDeletePlum for me! And that is unusual as I am not a "purple person". Love your repeated greeting idea Vicky. Really makes a point. hehe. It is you who inspires me to keep trying for "less is more" CAS cards by the way. Yours are always so gorgeous. Vx
ReplyDeleteI love both cards. A simple idea that would work for other sentiments too.
ReplyDeleteI must apologise for my lack of comments over the past few weeks whilst I was on holiday in Australia, but hopefully things should be back to normal now!
ReplyDeleteThese are fab Vicky!
Thanks so much
