This weeks Less is More challenge is Pastels, I decided to make text the focal point of my card, which turned to cards as I made two, and use my palest distress inks - Bundled Sage and Spun Sugar. I used a Marianne die for both, i'd had trouble cutting this with my Cuttlebug but it worked perfectly with the Grand Calibre.On the 'green' card I coloured the ribbon with the sage distress ink. Am I happy with these two cards - I don't know!!

Maureen, these cards are both beautiful :) love them :) x
Hi Maureen,
These are lovely, but I think I prefer the green one, I like the fact that the sentiment is gently coloured too, particularly as it is the focus of the card.
In comparison the dark print of the pink card seems a little harsh.
Those frames are really pretty!

Both cards are simple yet very elegant. They are different from your usual style, but still lovely.
Both cards are beautiful Maureen, I like the soft colours.

Lovely sentiment on both of them - they are very elegant
Both are beautifully soft and elegant..... I love the colouring and the sentiment of the green one in particular.
Beautiful card Maureen
Love the fact you did two for us!
Very pretty
If I had to choose, I like bits of both! Whilst I like black with pastels I think if there was a hint of the baby pink in the black font it would have softened the effect But that's if I was picky! lol
Super work
Thank you

Lovely cards - I like the green one too!!!
These are both lovely elegant cards. Jo x
Nicely done using the Distress inks, they colour ribbon very well don't they and then you always get the perfect matching ribbon or embellishment.
Both cards are lovely but i prefer the green one as it looks soft and delicate:-)
Lovely cards Maureen. Its nice to do something different for a change
I like very much...but then I like white cards with just a hint of colour. These are very elegant and the green is my fav too.
I like both cards. I have that Marriane D die and hadn't found a use for it as most of my image stamps are too big to fit. Using it as a frame for text is a brilliant idea!
Two very lovely cards, I really like the shaped labels.
Both cards are lovely but the green is my favourite. I love the layered die cuts and such a lovely sentiment too.
