Happy Birthday CAS 2

Hello!
This week I was asked to make a few CAS birthday cards... so this is one of the batch.

I don´t remember where I've got the image, because I printed and colored long ago... (If you know, please, let me know to give the credits to the artist).
EDITED : I just found out this image is by Stitchy Bear Digital Stamps and it's called Balloon Bear.

I used blue cardstock, a Sizzix circle die cut. I used foami tape to glue the image and a silver jelly pen to make the faux stitches. The sentiment is by Create with TLC.

I would like to enter this card in the following challenges:

Forever friends: bears
4 Crafty chicks: dies
Anything goes: make it manly
Deep ocean: for a boy
Pause, dream enjoy: for the boys
Pile it on: birthday
No matter which challenge: anything goes
Ooh-la-la: four legged friends
The sisterhood of crafters: birthday
Created with love: anything goes

A birthday card

Hello!
Today I want to show you a CAS card I made for a birthday.(So hard to take pictures with white background)

I used this cute bear by Spyder... I love the flowers and the sweetness in the expresion! I colored it with Koh-i-noor acuarelable pencils and placed it on a turquoise cardstock mat.

As background I use the embossing folder "Vines" (Quick Kutz) on a white cardstock and I distressed the edges with a turquoise ink pad.

The cute word art is by Create with TLC. I also used the same turquoise mat for it.

Appreciation card

Hello! How are you today?
Remember the card I made the other day? The one to thank somebody (male one) working at the school and now he is leaving? OK, this is my second card for this comission.

I don´t remember where I 've got this image (maybe a coloring page?) and it was long ago, I colored it with acuarelable pencils don´t remember when but never had the opportunity to use it until now... I placed it on a kraft color cardstock mat. (if you know, please, leave me a note, so I can give the credits)

I used some scraps from another card I made before and some beige cardstock. The sentiment is by Create with TLC and think is the best for this ocasion, and I twisted a little bit the sketch to fit this in.

I only used more kraft cardstock and some twine (Capuccino - The Twinery) as embellishment to complete the sketch I made a bow with it.

I would like to enter this card in the following challenges:
