Coloring with Distress & Distress Oxides

I'm playing in the cave today with water and Distress Inks, both regular and oxide.  I made a similar card on Saturday, but this time I wanted more flowers and more masking so the bouquet was fuller.  I used my Misti to stamp several similar ones.  I had to go back and add flowers at the top on two of them because my inky fingers smudged the top corner - I hate it when that happens!  Oh well, I actually like the two with the flowers in the top right corner anyway!

I stamped and masked and stamped these images from the Altenew Wild Hibiscus stamp set and stamped the sentiments from Concord & 9th Map Love stamp set.  Then I experimented with different ways to color them with Distress Inks.  Lastly, I added little tiny black dots for interest in the background.  Which one do you like the best?  And why?  I can't really decide, but I think my favs are the top left and bottom left......not really sure!  Leave me a  comment and let me know which one you like best!
