So this morning I sat and thought very hard about this weeks challenge at Less is More. Before I went out yesterday my brain just would not grasp the concept of 'Pastels' - this morning I got some inspiration from somewhere (maybe the Manchester City football strip????? LOL) - and this is the result.
The image is printed directly onto the textured card as is the sentiment which was printed in blue using two different fonts.
I coloured the birdie with watercolour pastels (I am getting hooked on using these I think!) and then spent an age trying to match up the colour with some pale blue paper! I used a Martha Stewart punch and punched 3 layers, overlapping them and then added some gingham ribbon.
I quite like this card and hope the addition of the ribbon hasn't made it into 'More is More' instead of 'Less'!

Cute bird, fab sentiment, lovely colours and pretty scallops!
Sounds like you had an amazing day at the football match! I think that they are about the only conditions that I would contemplate before agreeing to attend a football match!

Such a pretty card Viv.
Sounds like you enjoyed yourself yesterday - and your team won today too! I was supporting them for once as it helped Arsenal's position in the league!
OOh, I like! Great colour scheme and a cute image!

This is so sweet! Love the little bird on the branch! The scallops work well too.
Such a sweet card, very pretty.
very pretty indeed
Wow this is fabulous. Such a cute image and teaming it with Man City blue is inspirational. ( they have to be good for something lol) I have to disagree with Chrissie though, you can`t beat the terraces.
