Basket of flowers

Spring is just around the corner and I love it!!!!!!!!! After 5 months having only temperatures bellow 0°C, today we have a wonderful sunny day with 9°C as max. and now is 1°C... I can´t believe it! I hope the snow is really gone until next winter... :)

When Faith asked at Facebook what kind of images we would like to see for this month challenge, I sugested a basket of flowers (many other people did too...) and Faith draw this gorgeous basket with the loveliest flowers to start Spring :)

I colored it with Koh-i-noor acuarelable pencils and placed it on a baby blue cardstock.

I used some dp (don´t know the brand, I won it in a candy) and beige cardstock, I used an embossing folder (Sizzix) for the background.

My embellishments are  babyblue ribbon, a small bunch of flowers and a few rhinestones around the image.

Bright day....

We are having the last bright days... Summer is ending, outside is quite cool... I need to do something to bright this day!!!

I don´t remember who is the artist who did this image... (help, please!) Isn´t it sweet? So cute...!!! Its name is Blue's branch, but I didn´t register the name of the artist nor the company... (Is it a Pollycraft?)

I colored it with acuarelable pencils and used a light orange cardstock as mat.

The background paper is a Folia one. I also used a light orange ribbon and made a bow. I used a few yellow flowers as embellishment. The sentiment is from Create with TLC and I mounted on the same orange cardstock.
