Less is More #275

Hello!

Good to see you again for another challenge at Less is More where we are asking to see pastel colours on your designs.  I thought that I was going to struggle with this one as I tend to prefer bolder colours but I ended up making a few cards.....fittingly they are all birthday cards as this weekend we are wishing our lovely teamie, Anita a VERY Happy Birthday :) 

 
I used the watercolour flower stamps from Altenew and stamped them in soft pinks and greens.  The sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp.

 
I stamped a lace border stamp from Waltzingmouse Stamps in light blue and pink to create a background on the card base.  An angled panel on top of that features the sentiment (Waltzingmouse) and a few MFT die cut butterflies.

 
A simple final card where I have white embossed a butterfly stamp from Waltzingmouse and inked over that in tumbled glass distress ink.  The sentiment is from Hero Arts.
 
I hope you like these pastel cards and get the chance to play along with us this week.  The DT have lots more great inspiration to share with you over at Less is More.
 
Thank you for stopping by,
 
Sarah x
