Spring flowers

Now that spring has clearly sprung and everything seems to be sproouting and blooming, I can hardly wait for longer days, warm weather, long walks, fresh veggetables, and more productivity. Some of the above is already here, others will hopefully follow soon.
I even got my lazy low-energy self to get some spring cleaning done (not bragging at all!), and when doing so, I discovered this one in my stash: a simple (birthday) card with a soft green background paper with foliage and a lovely flowerpot digi by Meljen's Designs.

As the card was one of those flat cards I needed for my exhibition (yup, so deeply sunk in my stash), I decided to avoid all embellishments except for a space for a number or message.

The motif itself is coloured with coloured pencils, in shades that would fit both the background and the punched flower-shaped label.

Talking about spring colours, I decided to brighten my room with a combination that happened to be quite similar to my card: a yellow and cream coloured bouquet with lots of green hydrangea. I liked the arrangement when I saw it on the flower market and put it in my crystal vase after cutting the stems to size. 

The vase itself seems perfect for this kind of bouquets, but I might as well get rid of it after my spring cleaning is done. I'm not sure whether I'm tired of rich flower arrangements, crstal vases in general, or that even though I like both I just need some kind of change?
