A Happy Hello + TSoT Challenge 207

When I saw the Try Stamping on Tuesday sketch for their Challenge #207, I knew that it would be perfect for the CTMH February stamp of the month, A Happy Hello.

My first take on the sketch is a CAS (clean and simple) card.  I used the Heartstrings paper pack with Lagoon, Cranberry, and Hollyhock inks plus Aqua Dots for embellishments.  What do you think?
 For my second card, I used a large panel of Heartstrings B&T on my card front and cut out each individual flower/medallion.  Instead of the message on the outside, I used Lagoon washi tape and a strip of white shimmer trim, plus some of the lighter Aqua Dots.
Which card do you like better?  Let me know in the comments section, please.  My favorite isn't the one I thought it would be as I sat down to create these two versions of the Try Stamping on Tuesday sketch!  I can say that it's been a productive snow day.

{All of my supplies are from Close To My Heart.  You can find them HERE if you're interested.  Thanks!}

  1. #3 is tops to me, then 2. I just like those colors better than #1, which is still a good card...

  4. Haley, both of your cards are really cute. If I had to choose one I'd say I like the first one the best. I like the CAS look of it. :) Thanks for sharing with us at Try Stampin' on Tuesday.
