I used the 'ink, spray, smoosh" technique on a shiny ad that came in the mail and pressed it on watercolor CS. The sentiment is temporary and I already pulled it off as I will stamp one when I send the card. I thought it looked too bare, but I'm liking it better without.
I used three different reinkers on the background, sprayed and pressed it onto the cardstock The flourish is an RAK from Precious Kitty. Thanks, Jan. Cheery Lynn, I think?

I'm visualizing this without the sentiment, and I agree with you. I think I like it better without one. The watercolor splotches and flourish look lovely!

I think it would work well without - but then I'm not a great one for sentiments unless the card design needs it. The drama of the dark flourish against the texture and colour of the background is great.

I'm not one for using sentiments much on the front unless I know exactly where the card is going. It's nice to have versatile cards handy! I love this combination of colors and the way they look on your card! Beautiful~
