Lilac and lace at Gingerloft

Hello and happy Sunday!
I want to show you the card I made for this forthnight challenge at Gingerloft:

Our theme is LILAC AND LACE. Fun, isn't it?

I used Flowers in Pitcher and colored it with Koh-i-noor acuarelable pencils. I placed it on a lilac mat.

I used two or three different lilac/purple cardstock and two embossing folders for the background. I also used some dp scraps I had.

I used lace and a ribbon with lilac flowers.

I made my own flowers using cardstock and a lilac rhinestone, with two different punches, some foami tape and a lot of love!

I hope you like my card and feel inspired to play with us this forthnight.

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.

Flowers for a friend

Hello!
I was so thankful today that I saw a reminder in a challenge I want to participate... "Imagine that" has a freebie progressive challenge going on and I am almost late to link it.
This is the card I made:

The image is part of a gorgeous set called "Bouquet for..." and the freebie is "...my friend". I colored it with Koh-i-noor acuarelable pencils and then placed it on a green cardstock mat.

I used papers by Folia and by Rosie's studio and the same green mat for them. The sentiment is a Create with TLC and also placed on a green mat.

I complete the sketch using three green rhinestones. I was looking today for a sketch to make this card and found one I really liked it and also the theme of this challenge goes perfect with my image and the sentiment.

Gerberas

When I saw the challenge for this week at TouchTwin challenge blog I printed out many flowers and finally I chose the gerberas from Beccy's Place blog to make a card for the challenge.

I colored the gerberas in three different colors with Koh-i-noor acuarelable pencils. I mounted them on green cardstock with foami tape to give some dimension.

I used the sketch from My time made easy (Sketch 32). I used dp from Folia and green cardstock. As embellishment I used a green  gingham ribbon and made a bow and three cold porcelain ladybugs. I also made some faux stitches with a green fine marker.

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.
